@mrcool, @ryan:
Auto-hide taskbar can be a major pain. When you move the mouse nearby it comes back up, plus, some programs make it come up, etc. This program is neat because the Start button itself is annoying. There’s a Windows key, so.

Why need this utility to make my official Startmenu hide! If run the future Microsoft Vista Start Menu ViStart program open two startmenu’s, but only your see ViStart! Now can make Startbutton hide so that never click on location. Now can canche Windows XP in a Vista look with “Vista Transformation Pack 9.0.1″or with “Isso Pack 4.4 Build”softpedia.com

I can't stand auto-hiding the Taskbar. It does save screen space, but makes it so difficult to access your running programs.Plus my tip serves a different purpose: gives you more room on the Taskbar. Your tip will give you more screen space.

yes but hiding the taskbar defeats the purpose of the application. It leaves the taskbar showing for you to have quick access to your active applications.

One thing that you can do is hide the oversized Start button that appears in Windows. This is done with a simple and free ~~application called Start Killer.~~ right click on the taskbar, and clicking the check box next to auto-hide the taskbar. Oh, and click “Ok” or “Apply” and “Ok.”

In the spirit of slashdot, there, fixed that for you. Ok, it’s not quite the same effect…
