If the user has the Auto-Hide check box checked, then when a new program is started the taskbar is then hidden. If, in this case the window is to be run maximized, then it will take up the entire desktop. Otherwise, it should cover everything but the taskbar (if Always On top is checked). I believe that the values controlling this, Show Clock, etc. are contained in the registry, probably as a binary value. However, I don't know what the key is. Perhaps someone else does.

I've never even heard of high resolution bmp and ico files. Especially the latter. I've always thought that icon files were limited to 32x32 and 16x16 pixels. The only product that I know about is called T-Base or something like that. There should be an ad for it in the current Advisor. It's a bit pricey (400-500 bucks) but as far as I know it supports JPEG, GIF, BMP, etc. I don't know about icons. Of course, for a wealthy entrepeneur like yourself, the cost is a drop in the bucket (g).
