Disable Power-On Notifications?

[Jared Miniman [MVP]]

I have a full-screen application that locks the taskbar (kind of like a
kiosk app); however, upon a power off/on toggle, sometimes the taskbar
appears, and being that it's locked, it covers the top of the screen until
it is forced into the foreground. Is there any way to prevent the taskbar
from receiving notifications on power up or otherwise keep the taskbar
constantly hidden?

We even capture the IntPtr to the taskbar window handle, then re-enable the
taskbar, then kill focus on the taskbar, then set focus on the current
full-screen form, then re-disable the taskbar, but that doesn't work. Any
ideas?

Hi Jared,

Just an idea - try Hiding and Showing your form. The re-activation of your
form may cause the taskbar to straighten itself out. Also, try setting
WindowState=Maximized in the OnLoad event

Hope that helps,
-Katie
