Getting rid of a bar

Hey, Im creating my desktop for vista and so far so good, nice and clean looking, but one thing I cant stand is the organize bar.(see pic) Just wondering if anyone has experience or knows how to get rid of the bar,

Thanks, Tyler

FIX: Auto-hide the bar

Ok first off if somthing happens I wont take blame for it. Make sure you back-up your files. You need to download reshacker. Launch it and drag C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ (Whatever theme your using)\Shell\NormalColor\shellstyle.dll into it (make sure you back it up, it does back it up for you, but better be safe then sorry). Then click UIFILE then 1 then 1033. Press ctrl-F and search for

<style resid='FolderBandStyle'>

in the script. On the next line put in

<if mousefocused="false" mousewithin="false"><Element padding="rect(0rp,0rp,0rp,-28rp)"/></if>

so it should look a little like this

<style resid='FolderBandStyle'>
<if mousefocused="false" mousewithin="false"><Element padding="rect(0rp,0rp,0rp,-28rp)"/></if>
<Element
background="argb(0, 0, 0, 0)"
/>


Click compile Script on the top of the page and then save it save. Then re-apply the theme and it should be hidden until mouse is over it. If not, try restarting.

 

I haven't seen a method to get rid of that yet, but if you use a different theme, it can look a lot nicer.

 

ya ive been looking at different themes, but there pretty hard to come by for vista that is, but this one I use gives me transparent bars on everything, which I want, but in return I get that black bar....no clue why, guess ill keep looking around for a new theme until I figure out how to hide it

 

have you tried looking in folder options?

 

That was the first place i Looked. im currently looking at the hex code of explorer.exe......see if somthing shows up

 

FIXED IT. I decided to look around more deeply in other forums and found a auto-hide edit, so now it doesnt show until my mouse is over even better then what I wanted

 

It would be helpful if u posted the edit

 

that would be helpful indeed. Thats the downside to forums like these. Now i want something i didnt even know i watned before.
