Hide Start Menu and Start Button in VB.NET

I'm setting my console full screen but I also want to hide the task bar and the start button in VB.NET using Visual Studio 2010

Thanks

Solution

  • One way of hiding the taskbar is by ending the explorer process.

    For Each p As Process In Process.GetProcesses
    If p.ProcessName = "explore" Then
       p.Kill()
    End If
Next

    When you're finished you'll have to restart the explorer process.

    Process.Start("explorer")
