Did you ever want to hide / remove Windows taskbar so that you can use a dock and can get more space on Desktop? Although you can set the taskbar to "Auto-hide" but it also hides the Start button.
"Taskbar Eliminator" is a great portable application which can hide the Taskbar but shows the start button so that you can access your programs.

Its very handy if you use a dock. Just run the EXE file and it'll hide the taskbar. If you want to show the taskbar again, press the "Ctrl + Alt + T" keys and it'll show the main window where you can easily unhide the taskbar again. Also you can set the program to start automatically with Windows.
It works on almost all Windows versions including Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista and 7.
Thanks to "JosephR" for mentioning it...

Hey Vishal,
I have tried this on a Win 98 Second Edition computer with a few Windows Update updates, and it tells me that I need some sort of file...
This happens with many programs that shouldnt' work, but this... should you take 98 off the list?
Some programs say they need a newer Windows... others say stuff like "UXTheme.dll", "GDIPlus", etc.
Thanks.
VG
^^ I don't have Windows 98 to test but the developer claims it works on Windows 98.
