    Hi, I wanted to know how do you hide the windows task bar without using API? I know it is possible because I have seen it in a program once. Please help me.

    1. What's wrong with using API?
    2. I doubt there would be instrinct VB support for something like that

    If you don't mind using the API, have look at:

    Or if you want to encapsulate it all in an ActiveX control:

    The problem is I have no knowledge about windows API. That is why I don't want to use it.

    What's the difference? They both do the same...

    This thing is impossible without the API, just like anything else - any program you make uses the API a LOT and you don't even know it...
