What would make more sense is just to HIDE the taskbar. Right-click the task bar, select Properties. Check on "Auto-hide the task bar". It's funny how many people I run into who don't like to auto-hide the task bar. They get totally lost if they can't see it. Also, IMO, the bottom of the screen is s dumb place for the task bar. I've always put it on the right side of the screen and I always auto-hide it. It takes no screen space but when I need it, I just bump against the right edge and it pops up. I can make it as big as I want. My logic for placing the bar on the right side of the screen is that Western world people think in terms of right/left. I find it more natural and comfortable to move the cursor right/left than up/down. Stupid idea! What would make more sense is just to HIDE the taskbar. Right-click the task bar, select Properties.

I sometimes run applications there that I need to configure with a right-click and that would be impossible with that Registry trick. Another problem that I was facing is that I can't recover applications that minimize in the System Tray because I can't access them there unless someone knows a way to bring such a process back as a window.
