So... what are you going to do?  Are you going to create a program that will
do it for you?  One where you have to sit down at the computer, insert the
floppy disk, copy the program to the hard drive, run it, and hope that it
doesn't trash your registry?  During all this procedure, you could have right
clicked on the taskbar, chose properties, and then selected Auto-Hide.

How else are you going to do it?
