dotnet compact framework:

Also, hiding it doesn't prevent it from becoming visible again in certain
circumstances, so you'll probably want to disable it, too (EnableWindow).

A previous post pointed to a specific answer to your question. If you
are disabling the Start menu as part of an effort to lock down the
device, then you will find it helpful to know that is often called
"kiosk mode". And that means you will find useful info if you use
google (http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look up
kiosk
in one of these newsgroups. I generally use a brute-force approach to
hide the task bar:

HWND hWnd = ::FindWindow( _T( "HHTaskBar" ), NULL );
::ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_HIDE );

But you need to make sure your app shows it before closing, or it will
remain hidden.
