I use Windows 8 on my desktop. Currently I have to move my mouse over the taskbar, right click, click on properties, click on auto-hide the taskbar, and then click OK. This is a real pain if you want to toggle this status between on and off several times during the day. In fact, it's unworkable, so it stays on by default and wastes a lot of screen real estate when I don't need it.
Is there a better way?
(If it helps, I use Autohotkey.)

Here is an AutoHotKey script to make Win+b into a hotkey that toggles the taskbar auto-hide setting:
If you wish to use a different key or key combination than Win+b, change the
#b
before the double colons in line 3 to whatever hotkey you want (using the syntax in the AutoHotKey documentation).
