I have a .NET CF v2.0 Windows applicatiion that runs in Windows CE 5.0 OS in a fullscreen mode (I am not using AygShell API as it is not part of the Core volume license).
I would like to disable the taskbar. The registry settings such as,
;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;; Auto Hide Task Bar
;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\AutoHide]
"Default "=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\OnTop]
"Default "=dword:0did not help much.
There is one way, which is to replace the explorer.exe with my application's full path in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init\Launch50, but I have kept that a the last option.
I would appreciate your great help.
Thanks.

I'd suggest you try setting the following properties on your main form:
Form.WindowState to Maximized, ControlBox and MinimizeBox to false, FormBorderStyle to None and TopMost to true
This sould do the trick.
