How to programmatically move Windows taskbar?

Question

I\'d like to know any sort of API or workaround (e.g., script or registry) to move (or resize) Windows taskbar to another position including another monitor (if dual monitors).

Answer 1

The taskbar is a window. Use SetWindowPos() to move it. See also SHAppBarMessage() and ABM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED.

Though the taskbar may be special and Windows may not like you moving it around. There are a lot of special cases in the Shell appbar API implementation for the taskbar.

To move to another monitor, use EnumDisplayMonitors() with GetMonitorInfo(). Some monitors may have negative coordinates.
