You forgot to add -
After you have taken the screenshot, unlock the taskbar and reduce it to a thin line. Then drag it to the right-hand side of the screen. Also enable Autohide for it
Even though you're posting an old trick, at least make sure it's complete!!!

Because nobody cares for customising XP looks anymore. Either they use Vista, or if they still use XP, they do so for performance reasons, where desktop without icons, windows classic theme, etc are huge hits.
