Added description of what the script does and how to change the hotkey that it creates. Changed the hotkey from space to Win+b to avoid sending novices off to make their space key unusable. Win+b was suggested in comments but another user.

| Apr 7, 2021 at 4:13 | comment | added | Randy Cragun | Can anyone explain what this is doing? More specifically, is AutoHotkey just being used as a front-end for some Windows commands? I ask because this is smoother in some ways than alternatives with batch files that have to reload Explorer (possibly even closing some open windows in the process), and it might be nice to understand the underlying commands to be able to port this to, for instance, a Powershell script. | |

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).

Every time it runs, it will change the visibility of the taskbar (hide it if currently show, and vice versa). Works perfectly when added to a scheduled task in Windows 10. Now if you set your taskbar to auto hide and run this script at login (or with a delay at login), your taskbar will never be visible until you mouse over it. Solved a pseudo-kiosk mode I'm running on a standalone system. | |
| Apr 1, 2018 at 11:06 | comment | added | srs | 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. | |
| Feb 5, 2014 at 4:14 | comment | added | alexeit | For some reason if you press the hot key repeatedly with a small delay it will skip every second call eg hit hot key -> it will toggle -> hit again -> nothing happens -> hit again -> it will toggle and so on. However it works fine if delay between hot key presses is more then a few seconds. | |
| Feb 5, 2014 at 4:09 | comment | added | alexeit | 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). | |

| Oct 12, 2013 at 18:56 | comment | added | Grey | This works for me (w7 x64). All windows are fill the space that the taskbar used. | |
| Oct 9, 2013 at 6:14 | comment | added | Kit Johnson | 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. | |
