Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Remove start button?
Hello! I am on a laptop and desperate for task bar estate. I know you could do this for XP, but it isn't the same for vista. I want to remove the start button. I would just use the Win Key to open my menu. So does anyone know how?  Signaturedmak Why not auto hide the taskbar? > Hello! > > I am on a laptop and desperate for task bar estate.

Hi, Vista is exactly like XP in this manner, simply use auto-hide from the taskbar properties. It's on the general tab.

I use True Launch Bar, which permits "stacking" internet apps, office apps, utilities, media apps, etc. each atop one icon. And, it allows me to lose the Start button... Free Launch Bar is almost as functional and, of course, costs nothing. Either will quickly become your single most useful add-on. I'm not Russian, so I don't work there...

I reccomend dragging the taskbar up to be 2 rows high, maybe even 3.Then set it to auto hide if it uses too much space. hth Marc |
