Problem with taskbar ontop setting

Hi,

i am working with Windows CE .Net 4.2. i want to disable OnTop
property of the taskbar.

i have following entries in our platform.reg
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\AutoHide]
"Default"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\OnTop]
"Default"=dword:0

but after cold start, the taskbar is still on top even if registry
value is 0. if i do it manually from Taskbar Settings dialog it works
properly.

is this a bug or is there a different way to do this?

i found an old newsgroup link suggesting that it was a bug in 3.0. is
it fixed in 4.2?

Hi,

Try this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\AutoHide]
""="1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\OnTop]
""="1"

looks like following works with OnTop disabling...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\AutoHide]
"Default"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\OnTop]
"Default"=dword:0

but can i not have AutoHide disabled too?

Thanks,
