Windows in taskbar

[Mark]

Hi All,
I use Tony's Auto FE updater to keep the frontend current. Because of
this, I don't need to go round setting it up for users as they all know of
the Shortcut on the network drive. By default, the "Windows in taskbar"
option in Tools - Options - View is checked. I have a form set to open as
invisible when the database is open which is combined with users having
several other forms open at the same time. This equates to quite a few
'Buttons' on the taskbar which need not be there. The users do not have the
toolbars to disable this themselves so I was wandering if there's a way I
can code this into the startup form?

Any help would me much appreciated.

The ones I set are:

Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsInTaskbar", False
Application.SetOption "Themed Form Controls", True
Application.SetOption "Show Startup Dialog Box", False
Application.CommandBars.AdaptiveMenus = False

Of couse, Themed Contorls only works with a2003..but it does make things
look a lot more moderm, as you can see here:
