Hide Windows TaskBar

Does anyone know the code in C# or snippet or API so i can hide and show the
windows taskbar? Many people have suggested using ShowWindow and FindWindow
or the ABM_SETSTATE but i am having problem with the code. Cant seem to make
it work. Would really appreciate any code given.. Thank you so much! I really
need this one. Thank you in advance.

Hiding and showing of windows taskbar or the auto-hide property of the
taskbar will do. Thank you.

Im using .Net 1.1, XP.

Does anyone know how I can hide a form from the TaskManager? I've set the ShowInTaskbar to False, but when using Alt-TAB to switch between applications, it appears as a blank icon.

Is there a way to mimic a (FormBorder) sizable tool window (so it doesn't appear in the tasklist) and still show the Min, Max and Close control buttons? (Or...
