How to autohide the taskbar??

[dave597]

Is there any way to completely autohide the taskbar?? I get a annoying white line at the bottom of the screen, which ruins my beautiful wallpaper.

What operating system?

I can only remember windows XP ..

- Right click on taskbar
- click properties
- in the window that pops up put a checkmark in "Auto-hide the task bar"

You can end the explorer.exe(the task bar) task from the task manager, but then again you wont be able to lunch it again, so if you wanna normal windows, you cant.

afaik if you have one of those keyboard with functions you can assign programs to, do one for explorer, and you should be fine.
