Does anyone know how I can make a user's 'Start' bar hide or show at will?
 
You can send a Message WM_SHOWWINDOW or use ::ShowWindow(handle, FALSE ) Function. To find the Handle, use EnumChildWindows() Function - You must find in Callback Function a Button - Child of Window Type Shell_TrayWnd (there is normally only one Window of this Type and it has only one child of type Button).
If You wish to play with Windows, Buttons etc, try to download this Program:
 
Thanks for that! I'll give it a blast.
