Now that I have Rocket Dock I want to make the Start Bar just go away completely. I've put a link on my dock to the start menu, so it's literally useless now, it just gets in the way of my pretty desktop.

Right now I have it as small as it can go, but no matter what I do there's still that blue line at the bottom of my screen. It drives me fucking nuts.



So how can I just make it disappear? Auto-hide doesn't cut it, and that blue line needs to go.

change the color of it to match your background

[edit] wait...is this XP or vista? I don't have any experience with vista...

So hitting F11 is too manual for you?

Doesn't work if I have a multicolored background, which I usually do. I thought there'd be some easy way to get rid of it, like some check box I should be clicking or something.

And XP, sorry, shoulda specified.

I don't care about when I have a window open, I care about what my desktop looks like, F11 doesn't work for that.

That damn blue line is making me rage.

Hit the menu button on your monitor, stretch your screen slightly vertically, then move it down enough to hide the bar.

I haven't used Windows in years, but can't you just close explorer.exe ? Could someone verify this or shoot it down before she tries it?

Ack, I thought this would work, but it doesn't. My mouse wont go beyond the screen, no matter where it is.

This sounds promising, but I don't wanna do it till someone else does haha.

I'd be more than willing to test it... but... no windows computer here.
