Taskbar Autohiding

Post by aurumdigitus »

Am still with Win 7. How to write a script that would do and undo the Taskbar Autohide feature without having to go through all those laborious clicks each time. A CTB would be ideal !

By e.g. finding the necessary autohotkey code and execute it from XY?

Invoking autohotkey would add more software to an aging computer whose hard drive is
already running very tight on available space. It would be the epitome of cool if XYplorer could "reach into windows" and do the job directly. Here is the model for this concept. If memory serves this might have even been your code:
run '"C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe" Powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Sleep';

Thank you for evaluating the situation. Sometimes wishes come true; sometimes they do not. :(

If you are still interested in this issue search for the utility Taskbar Control. It is free, simple and works here. You can even choose your own Shortcut key! Was looking for something else but can across this by accident. A lucky find.
