Hide the taskbar using C#

I am running Windows XP 64 bit. I want to hide the taskbar when I run my application.

I tried codes by searching the web. In all those, it hides the task bar. But the problem is, when i open a notepad and maximize it, it is not actually into full screen. Because the space where task bar was there is still blocked with empty space. I want it fit really into full screen mode.

Solution

  • I've done this by making the application borderless, maximized, and setting it to be Topmost. Here's a perfect example from CodeProject.

    As one of the commenters has said, replacing disabling Explorer and running your application might be the best way, security-wise.
