    Remove everything from taskbar (left of system tray)


    I've been trying to put together a minimalist desktop setup, and I am trying to remove (or hide) everything on the taskbar, left of the "Show Hidden Items" button on the System Tray, and also make the taskbar transparent. The hidden items would be the Start Button and the Minimized Windows. I have a program that hides the Start Button which works well. The Minimized Windows is a bit harder. I've accomplished this by using a program called TaskBarHide (Taskbar Hide - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com), except it seems pretty old and is a bit unreliable (it doesn't run automatically all the time, and when it does, I have to manually go into it to change some things to get it to work properly).

    Are there any alternatives to this that are a little more modern? Most of what I find are pretty old. Can this be accomplished with a registry hack? Is there a better way of doing this?

    Note: I am not trying to just autohide the taskbar (through Windows settings) and I am not trying to permanently hide the taskbar (through a hack) as I still want the system tray.

    Thanks.

    :)
