You should use the ShowWindow api function to hide the taskbar.

Code:

---

Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" _
 Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal _
lpWindowName As String) As Long

Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" Alias "ShowWindow" _
 (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long

Public Const SW_HIDE = 0
Public Const SW_SHOW = 5

Dim tray
Dim trayShow

Usage

Private Sub Command1_Click()
'Hide
tray = FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", vbNullString)
trayShow = ShowWindow(tray, SW_HIDE)
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
'Show
tray = FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", vbNullString)
trayShow = ShowWindow(tray, SW_SHOW)
End Sub

the hWnd's should be declared as Long rather than a Variant.

Code:

---

Dim tray As Long
Dim trayShow As Long
