If you need to show/hide Windows taskbar you can use this:

public class Taskbar
{
    [DllImport( "user32.dll" )]
    private static extern int FindWindow( string className, string windowText );
    [DllImport( "user32.dll" )]
    private static extern int ShowWindow( int hwnd, int command );

    private const int SW_HIDE = 0;
    private const int SW_SHOW = 1;

    protected static int Handle
    {
        get { return FindWindow( "Shell_TrayWnd", "" ); }
    }

    private Taskbar() { }

    public static void Show()
    {
        ShowWindow( Handle, SW_SHOW );
    }

    public static void Hide()
    {
        ShowWindow( Handle, SW_HIDE );
    }
}

So you can use
Taskbar.Show() to show taskbar and
Taskbar.Hide() to hide it.
