Programmatically Change AutoHide on Taskbar
How can you change the Taskbar in Windows 95 from AutoHide to not Autohide using Code. We have unsuccessfully tried SHAppBarMessage.

Zif is damn right. There is no way to do this in Delphi. I have had a hard time finding this out myself. Even if you try to look it up on Support Online (http://support.microsoft.com) or the MSDN (www.microsoft.com/msdn), you will only find descriptions of how to do it manually (right click the taskbar, select properties, blahblah...). Hiwver, I found out which keys need to be patched in the reg. Here we go:
file autohide.reg>>>>>>>>>>>
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar
"Settings"=hex:38,00,00,00
00,00,00,1e,00,00,00,%*AUT
00,00,03,00,00,00,02,00,00
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Please replace the string %*AUTOHIDE*% with 01 to autohide the bar and 00 to "not autohide" it.
Ah, and don't be confused if this setting doesn't take effect immediately. Just reboot the machine. Everything should be finde then.
Hope this helps to solve your problem,
