Using Windows 10 v1803. Is there any way to remove the thin Show desktop slice next to the clock? It is only 5 pixels wide (including the thin grey border), but it is annoying!
The image on the left is the slice itself and the image on the right is what you see when you right-click the slice. Things I have tried so far:
- Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Performance > Settings.
Enable Peekis off. - Control Panel > Taskbar and Navigation.
Use Peek to preview the desktop when you move your mouse to the Show desktop button at the end of the taskbarisOff

It is possible to remove the show-desktop slice using
the free app
7+ Taskbar Tweaker.
Use the tweak called Hide the “show desktop” button:

Theoretically all this is doing is changing some registry value. It would be really nice to know what to change manually so that we don't have to run a whole app to do this

Yes, agreed. Have discovered you have to have7+ Taskbar Tweakerrunning for the changes to be active. Not ideal...the changes should be permanent.

Not everything is done via the registry. However, it's possible to use Process Explorer to trace the execution of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker.
