Is there a way to change the settings under "Tools-Options-General"
programatically? Specifically, I would like to disable "windows in taskbar"
and "show hidden items".

I distribute an .mde which has the standard toolbar disabled so they don't
have access to the options and by default, the "windows in taskbar" is
checked, which then doesn't show my custom icon in the taskbar item (and
they have multiple items in the taskbar if they have other forms open in
addition to the main menu which is a form).

TIA,
Randy K.
 
Hi Randy,

you can get/set these settings with GetOption and SetOption methods. In your
case, you have to use

Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsInTaskbar", False
Application.SetOption "Show Hidden Objects", False
