The way I have done this in the past assuming you mean vanilla ce standard shell is to grab the handle of HHTaskBar and simply hide it ; I also disable the SipWndClass just in case the keyboard is left open.

Is it possible to turn off 'Auto hide' using the registry? If not, what other alternative is there to do this? One needs to set the "Default" value for the AutoHide key to 0. Paul T. I've set the registry key using Regedit, Mortscript, and even letting Windows do it when I use the Taskbar properties dialog to check or uncheck 'Auto hide'.

When I uncheck the 'Auto hide' checkbox, the registry value gets automatically set to 0. When I check the 'Auto hide' checkbox, the registry value gets automatically set to 1. So I uncheck the 'Auto hide' checkbox, go and see that the registry value has been automatically set to 0, and then do a soft-reset.

When the unit comes back up, the registry is still intact and the value of 0 is still there, but the taskbar autohides and the 'Auto hide' checkbox in the Taskbar properties dialog is checked. It's like Windows is simply ignoring the registry setting and forcing the autohide setting to be on.

Of course, once I manually turn autohide off, it stays off until the next soft-reset. Weird, huh? Sorry if I led you to think otherwise. However, no matter how that Default value gets set to a dword of 0, upon a soft-reset that value is ignored by Windows and the 'Auto hide' setting gets forced on. Oddly enough, even though 'Auto hide' is forced on, it does not change the dword:0 to dword:1 in the registry.

That only happens if you manually toggle the checkbox on the Taskbar settings dialog. Is there a way to programatically set the 'Auto hide' setting other than using the registry which doesn't appear to be working?
