Hide task from taskbar3 Thread last updated on 2003-06-08 09:23:32

I'm new to this so please bear with me. ;)

How do I hide a task from the taskbar (taskbar3)?

I have a shortcut to "Windows Task Manager" in my "Startup" folder that is set to open minimized and the option to "hide when minimized" is set in "Task Manager". This works fine when using Explorer (the task manager icon shows in the system tray and not on the taskbar) but, with Litestep, "Windows Task Manager" is shown on the taskbar.

I've read the docs and scanned the forums and found only this:

"TaskbarHideTasks
-----------------------
Hide the tasks that are on *TaskbarHide list at startup or not.
default : TRUE if set"

How do I implement this...that is ....where do I put the *TaskbarHide list and what do I put in it?

Thanks,

Rodger

you should put something like this into your step.rc:
TaskbarHideTasks
*TaskbarHide "Windows Task Manager"

i'm not exactly sure if "Windows Task Manager" is the right thing to put there, but try it out ;)

Works! Thanks! I'll keep learning.
