Taskbar autohide

[Brian J]

Anyone know which reg setting controls toolbar autohide?

At every system restart autohide is reset ON.

Hi Brian

The registry key you are looking for is HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \
Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ StuckRects2

There is a value called Settings which is a REG_BINARY type and it is this
stores the settings of your taskbar, for example whether the start menu is
showing small icons, the placement and the auto-hide feature.

The problem is that this value is only written to at log-off, so in order to
catch it, you would need to set up the environment how you want it, log off,
log on again and then export the data. You could then script this at logon.

Hi J,

Thanks for the info ... I located the key.

Do you know where I can find the structure of the binary string please?

I don't really - the thing I normally do it export it and keep various
exports for various configurations.

Trial and error fella i'm afraid
