Object Dock and Taskbar.

from WinCustomize Forums
I have replaced just about all of the taskbar functionality with the Object Dock, and now I am trying to get rid of it. Checking "Hide the Windows taskbar" in the propertys works, but every now and then the taskbar appears again. I have the taskbar set to hide, and I am also using Window Blinds, if any of that matters.

DesktopX will let you hide the Taskbar

Kill explorer.... just kidding you probably don't want to do that, but if you use a explorer replacement like bb4win you can use less memory....But there are many config programs that will let you do this. I think that x-setup will let you do this. I know desktopx will, but then you have to be running desktopx (which is a good thing)

I've noticed that it shows up once in awhile too, but I just restart ObjectDock and it goes away. Also, you can go into the Dock configuration and uncheck, then re-check, the Hide Taskbar box. I've noticed my OD gets unstable after about three days of constant uptime, so I have to exit it and go back into it to get it running smoothly again.

I tried running iShell instead of Windows Explorer shell, but I didn't like it. And what does the DesktopX actualy do? Is that similar to a shell replacement? Or is it something else?

Desktopx is a desktop enhancement. It is not a shell replacement. But I suppose one could use it as such. Just use a different file manager or set explorer not to load as the desktop manager just the file manager.
