The task bar belongs to the desktop. Though a Vb 6 app runs in the desktop, it does not own the desktop. I haven't actually looked into this, but I would be pretty sure that Vb cannot do this without manipulating the DeskTop's permissions, a pretty involved process.
Perhpas you can instruct users on how to do this themselves, and allow them to verify that they have done so before the program proceeds.

raguapk, the task in the taskbar will be hidden (ShowinTaskBar = False). But if the taskbar itself is not set to AutoHide, it will still occupy "its space" on the screen.
Also, what exactly would be the use of StartupPostion = CenterScreen with Window State = Maximized?
