executing taskbar removal exe earlier in the boot process

I wrote a small console exe that successfully removes the taskbar. However,
If I execute that exe from the startup folder, I can still see the taskbar
for a fraction of a second before it's removed. Ideally I'd like to not see
it at all on boot.

Is there a way to execute this exe sooner in the boot process?

Thanks,

Art
 
Another part of the question is "If I setup the exe as a RunOnce resource,
will it run sooner than if I were running it from the startup folder?" Or are
these ways of doing it identical. Also, what determines the order in which
RunOnce or startup apps are executed.?

Thanks,

Art
 
Hi Art,

If you don't want task bar or other shell features, why don't you try Task
Manager Shell instead of Explorer Shell? You can build with Task manager
shell and set runonce request to your application or create a custom shell
for your application. In this way, you don't need to worry about taskbar any
more.

Regards,
Ethan
