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.
