If you are showing a WinForm with 'WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized, it will fill the screen completely, covering any TaskBars that are not hidden.

private void frmMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   MaximizedBounds = Screen.FromHandle(Handle).WorkingArea;
   WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
}

Do you have experience with interop in C# using the Shell ... i.e., using WndProc, using P/Invokes ?
