I want to create an application that user can minimize to taskbar on Windows XP.
Like
iTunes
Press the Windows key on the keyboard to bring up the Start Menu. This should also make the taskbar appear. Right-Click on the now-visible taskbar and select Taskbar Settings. Click on the 'Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode' toggle so that the option is disabled, or enable "Lock the taskbar".
Using RetroBar is quite easy. Once you download and double-click on the setup file, your PC taskbar will immediately be tuned to an old-looking classic taskbar. You can access RetroBar properties right-clicking on the taskbar, and here you can change the taskbar theme with ease.
You just need to download the default Windows XP wallpaper from a website. Then right-click the picture and select Set as desktop background to make Windows 11 look like Windows XP completely.
