HI

I found a VBScript to enable the Auto-Hide Taskbar for Windows XP but i can't find out how to modify this script so it will also enable the Quick Launch.

Option Explicit
Const HKCU = &H80000001
 
Dim objReg
Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}root\default:StdRegProv")
Dim objWMI
Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}root\cimv2") 
 
' Adjust the first bit of the taskbar settings
Dim arrVal()
objReg.GetBinaryValue HKCU, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2", "Settings", arrVal
arrVal(8) = (arrVal(8) AND &h07) OR &h01
objReg.SetBinaryValue HKCU, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2", "Settings", arrVal

' Restart Explorer for the settings to take effect.
Dim objProcess, colProcesses
Set colProcesses = objWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name='explorer.exe'")
For Each objProcess In colProcesses
	objProcess.Terminate()
Next

I remember there is this tool toogleQL.exe which can run from the command line.
But it is hard to find this file,even googling it. I found it here (see the link toggleQL.exe in a zip file )

ToggleQL works only for XP. I know Vista added an official way to toggle taskbar bands according to http://blogs.msdn.co...02/9388941.aspx but Raymond Chen himself doesn't know if it works for Quick Launch or not. Anyone have a script or EXE (that doesn't use SendKeys) to toggle QL on Vista/7/8?
