Does anyone know how to "disable" the windows taskbar.. or at least "hide" it, using
Win32? I've seen it done in another program.. but I was clueless as to how the person did it.

I would like to be able to display one of my programs on the entire screen, without the taskbar covering the very bottom portion of it. (I don't want to use openGL/direct x to do this either..)

#include<windows.h>

int main()
{        
    ShowWindow(FindWindow(L"Shell_TrayWnd",L""),SW_HIDE);
    return 0;
}

How would I hide the taskbar on a window that is already open/shown? Thank you for replying so quickly by the way.
