Jooel,

Why rely on the taskbar height?
You could also let the slide bar start from the bottom of the screen and "overwrite" the taskbar. Changing the background color to yellow for example makes it easy to read the text...

Tomorrow (or today actually) I'll try the taskbar() function on Win9x for you...

(I've adjusted the code so it comes up in the middle of my screen)
