  • Thanks very much for posting that. Does this just hide the taskbar and leave other windows as they are, or will they automatically fill the space that the taskbar used to occupy? The problem with many solutions is that the taskbar hides but other windows don't fill the space. Commented Oct 9, 2013 at 6:14

    This works for me (w7 x64). All windows are fill the space that the taskbar used.

    Note that this script is using Space as a hot key (if you were wondering how to toggle hide/show) which is not ideal. I replaced it with #b (win + b, b for bar).

    Found this via google. Doesn't seem to work on Windows 10: It always switches to "always show", but the other direction (to "auto hide") doesn't work.

    Works perfect in Windows 10. Just remember to add the VarSetCapacity(APPBARDATA, A_PtrSize=4 ? 36:48) line at the top of your script (before your hotkeys).
