You need to get the work area of your main monitor in c++ this is achieved with an api call to SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA 0 &r 0); the rect structure &r will have the size of the screen minus the task bar or any other desktop tool bars. Exercise: You need to research how you would do this in c#

Hi I have used this part of the code and it works pretty well but the form is blocking the Start bar so the Task Bar cannot be seen when I have a loading bar or form showing in that part of the screen. Is there any way to also cut the part where the Start bar is? Thanks

Great Work John ..... Try the following code to your form onload function that will do the trick int x=int.Parse(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Right.ToString()) -int.Parse(this.Size.Width.ToString()); int y=int.Parse(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Bottom.ToString()) -int.Parse(this.Size.Height.ToString()); this.Location=new System.Drawing.Point(xy); thanks

Well if I do this I get the resolution of my desktop so I figure from there it's easy to do just have to subtract the size the size of your form and move it into the position and stuff: MessageBox.Show(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Right.ToString() +  x  + Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Bottom.ToString()); John...
