When I use Spy++ and look at the Window Style of the taskbar (WinXP
classic theme)(Shell_TrayWnd) I see that it contains WS_BORDER and
WS_THICKFRAME. The taskbar is stretched so the left/right/bottom
borders are drawn outside the monitor rectangle but you can't see
them.
What code is used to hide these borders?

Thanks in advance,
Richard

I don't know if it's what you're talking about, but
for "Windows Classic" theme, it's drawn at x = -2 instead of 0.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. When you have two monitors
you'll see that the borders, that are outside the main monitor, are
hidden.

SetWindowRgn()

At least that would be my guess.
