Bit more tricky. The technique seems to be something like this:

<code>
import win32gui

taskbar_window = win32gui.FindWindow ("Shell_TrayWnd", "")
# Do whatever with Taskbar window, eg MoveWindow, HideWindow, etc.

</code>

Unfortunately, in the 2 minutes I've got available to try this out,
I can get it to move around like it does when you're pulling it.

Let us know if you get something to work this way.
