No more 'Auto-hide' for dock users!!

Here's a little app I compiled for someone to hide Windows 7 and Vistas Taskbar on system startup when using third-party docks. You can still acces the Start Menu via your keyboards Windows key but every other aspect will be hidden and the normal windows explorer and desktop will still work as normal.

Once the hiding has been done the program exits, plus all the work is done using Windows API's so there isn't any dirty hacks involved and the only requirement is .Net 2.0.

Included is also a second app to show the taskbar again should it be needed.

Simply extract the contents to somewhere on your windows drive and create a shortcut in the Startmenu's 'Startup' folder to the 'HideTaskbar.exe'.

Thanks Steve, it's a very simple app but I imagine it'll be very useful on here. :)
