Do you want to eliminate your windows taskbar ? Here is a tiny tool which will help you do it -Taskbar Eliminator .

Aviassin Taskbar Eliminator is a great utility which will simply and efficiently remove the taskbar from Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.

With just the click of a button or a hotkey, the taskbar is disabled from any side of the screen, providing the freedom to use any dock application, increase computer security, or allow all sorts of Windows customizations. The taskbar can be toggled on and off in real-time, providing the flexibility to quickly view the taskbar to perform an action.

Using Taskbar Eliminator:

When you run Taskbar Eliminator for the first time, the taskbar is automatically hidden. To unhide it, simply press Alt + T. To hide the Taskbar just press Alt + T again (this shortcut toggles the Taskbar on or off).

To view the Taskbar Eliminator preferences window, press Control + Alt + T. This window allows you to set startup options, toggle the Taskbar, and exit the program. The Taskbar can be set to be hidden every time Windows starts.  For use with Dock applications(those with a system tray ‘docklet’ or plugin), Taskbar Eliminator also has a system tray icon. Right-click on this to show the preferences window or exit the program.
