Taskbar Eliminator: Hide / Remove Windows Taskbar

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.

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.
