Hello,

I'll create a component with following registry value:

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\AutoHide]
Value Name: (Default)
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)

Hi Gunter,

Replies to this has been posted a couple of times on this NG.

Pls chek the Archive and search for
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2
Registry key.

You need to use one of the Registry Monitor utilities (e.g. RegMon) to
see what value is set to this key.

HTH,

Hi,

I already tryed REGMON and InCtrl5 with no results. Simply cant't find what
makes the difference
Deleting StuckRects is often mentioned on the web to re-initialize an
invisible taskbar. But on my XPE image there is no such key. With or without
auto-hide function.

Thanks Konstantin

This is indeed the bit which changes the taskbars auto-hide condition (well hidden *g*)

Simply building a component with build order bevore user interface core and the reg-ke

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2\Setting

works

Hi,

Okay..... Here is what I have found.

There is definately StuckRects2 key on XPe machine, try searching for
it.

BUT, The last time I tried monitoring the Hide/Unhide thing on my
machine was long time back, so when I tried this again today on my XPe
unit (Just for u ), I noticed there is no change in this key!!!
Although, when I tried this again on my Dev Machine (Win 2K Pro), the
key at this location was definately getting changed!!!

Also, today I noticed one more change at
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Components\0]

In hidden mode, the value at the above location is
"Position"=hex:2c,00,00,00,4e,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,b2,03,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

In unhidden mode, the value at the above location changes to
"Position"=hex:2c,00,00,00,9c,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,64,03,00,00,e2,02,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

I think u need to use Regmon again and see if it helps.

Also, I think there is a combination of more than 1 registry keys,
which helps in this process. Pls check that as well.

Hey guys ,

Using regmon / inctrl on the xpe machine should sort things
out.Did you try this on a XP Professional.. just a thought .
