Switch-off or hide wce-taskbar

  • There are three posibilities to prevent user action on taskbar:


    1. Switch-off task by delete registry value under [HKLM]\Init for start explore.exe


    2. Hide taskbar by your own application, e.g. in C++ use:
    CWnd *pTaskBar;
    pTaskBar = FindWindow(_T("HHTaskBar"),NULL);
    pTaskBar->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);


    3. Set taskbar attribute "Auto Hide" and disable attibute "Always on Top" (by right click on none icon area on taskbar ... )

    It is also possible to do these settings under "Start"->"Settings"->"Taskar and Start Menu". After modifying, the settings can be saved via ndcucfg.exe utility (command "reg save") for upcoming power ons.

  • Hello,


    one customer asks me how to perform "3. Set taskbar attribute "Auto Hide" and disable attibute "Always on Top" (by right click on none icon area on taskbar ... )" via WCE Registry:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\AutoHide]

    "Default "=dword:1

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\OnTop]

    "Default "=dword:0
