fill screen works just fine but the task bar ruins it

Ok, I think I found a temporary (?) solution to this
(I'm on Win10 using attract-mode with RetroArch)

- Create a 'run.bat' inside your 'attract' folder with
Code: [Select]
@echo off
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
attract.exe
start explorer.exe

and always use the .bat to open. In attract use fill screen.

It's working for me :)

ps: If I use exclusive fullscreen in RetroArch, when it comes back to attract I see a white line on top and left of the screen. With 'Windowed Fullscreen' ON I don't have any problems.
