How do you remove Start Bar and Task Bar?

Friday, December 6, 2002 by dbackfan2 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I'm running Windows 98. I've looked at a bunch of skins that don't have the "Start Bar" and "Task Bar" visible on the screen shot. Is it possible to "hide" these bars when using a skin? If so, can't someone please let me know how this is done?

Thanks for any help and remember I'm using Win 98.

If you're running Win98...just right-click on your taskbar, select Properties, then check the box "Auto hide"...then if you want to view/access your start button or taskbar while you are working, just move your cursor to the bottom of the screen, and it will pop-up.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, but I did a poor job of explaining myself. I'm running NextStart and would like to eliminate the "bars" altogether. If I select the "Start Bar" button after opening up NextStart preferences and then deselect the following: Start Button, Task List, Quick Launch, and System Tray, I'm still left with the "bar" and some goofy Start Button icon. I would like to eliminate all of this.

Thanks for the help.

Oh...sorry 'bout that! I think I understand now...however, I don't have/use NextStart, so hopefully someone that does, will come along shortly to help out. Good Luck!

In the Startbar section of the Startbar Preferences window (where you can choose the position of the startbar), select 'Disabled' from the pull up menu. This will disable the Startbar for ALL themes, even if they are startbar aware.
