Issue: Taskbar being lower than usual with two monitors

Same issue, here too.
Only difference for me is, that the system tray area is black.

Same here using Classic theme / High contrast theme / Aerolite theme but it can be fixed as I discovered today. I just need the help of some Autoit expert in the forum.

I've found today some way it can be manually fixed!:

[FIX 1]

1) Download HMW – Hide my Windows funk.eu/hmw/
2) Check "Filter on Windows" -> "All"

3) Search for Window Title="Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd" and process="explorer.exe", select this row then copy InitialPosition and InitialSize columns values.

4) Now, with the row still selected, click on "Move" button, paste both size and position from the columns above and modify it to the desired size and width.
5) Click on "Topmost"
6) Apply changes, then run (Windows+R):
ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache

For 1920x1080 resolution, the new position and size will be something like:

-1922x1044 => -1922x1039 [Position X/Y]
1924x38 changed to 1924x46 [Width/Height]

_

Ofc this can be automated, we just need an autoit / autohotkey .exe command line utility that can do this:

1) Searches for each "Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd" class opened (secondary explorer taskbar)



2) Adds the remaining pixels to be the size of the main taskbar (considering if it's small or large icon taskbar size) (main monitor)
3) Moves up the taskbar some pixels (the added pixels will be added at the bottom)

like:

$hWnd = HWnd(_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($hListView, $aSelected[$i], 4))

_WinAPI_SetWindowPos($hWnd, $HWND_NOTOPMOST, $iValue_X, $iValue_Y, $iValue_W, $iValue_H, $SWP_NOSENDCHANGING)

4) Does the "ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache"

_

The same can be done using Hawkeye ShellInit ( www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/hawkeye_shellinit.html ) and save it: 

[FIX 2]

1) Position Window, *, Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd, -1922, 1039, 1924, 46
2) On Top, *, Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd, True
3) Win+R: ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
_

[FIX 3]
1) WinSpy++ and search for explorer.exe, then righ click on "Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd" -> "Adjust position" -> Move up some pixels and add some height
2) Win+R: ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
_

If somebody can help us to automate this creating a simple autoit utility:

Autoit HMW – Hide my Windows source code is here: funk.eu/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=242 

I've found this is the function called when I click on "Move button":
