SOLVED: Taskbar Displayed Only On <Win> Keypress

I would like the Taskbar to autohide and not popup when the mouse cursor goes to the bottom of the screen. I would like the Taskbar to popup when I hold down the <Win> key. IOW, I don't want <Win> to activate the Start Menu like it does by default.

Summary:
  • Windows Taskbar is hidden by default.
  • Moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen doesn't activate the taskbar.
  • Balloons from the Taskbar Notification Area popup as normal.
  • Pressing, and holding, the <Win> key brings up the Taskbar.
  • Releasing the <Win> key autohides the Taskbar.
