Lock taskbar

[Guest Herbert Eppel]

I know the taskbar can be locked in XP, but can it also be locked in 2000?

Herbert,

 

The only way to Lock (disable) the Taskbar I know of in Windows 2000 is via

code, but disables it making it unclickable

 

As far as I know only ME & XP can lock the Taskbar

 

There is a policy setting that enables you to remove context menu items for the

Taskbar & Control Panel

 

START | RUN | Type 'regedit' (without quotes) & press ENTER.

 

Navigate to:

 

User Key:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

 

All Users:

 

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

 

In the right pane:

 

Key Name: NoSetTaskBar

Key Type DWORD

Value: 1 = Disable Taskbar options, 0 = Enable Taskbar options

 

Exit the registry editor

 

Please note: maybe the EXPLORER key won't exist, as by default it does not

Thanks for your reply, and sorry about the delay in responding.

 

I have my taskbar positioned vertically on the left edge of the screen.

The width is just wide enough to make the application icons visible fully.

 

I don't want to *disable* the taskbar - what I'm mainly looking for is a

way to prevent me accidentally changing the size of the taskbar by

pulling it with the mouse. If it can't be locked I guess I just have to

be more careful :-)
