The script was written and successfully tested in Windows 7 Ultimate. It may also work in Vista but I don't have Vista to test.
Test was unsuccessful in Windows XP Pro because Windows XP doesn't have a User Promoted Notification Area, which this script is looking for to retrieve the taskbars width and height.
