Your best chance to do that is to change your windows theme. It would probably turn it grey.

Your other option would be to re-skin the interface. Google is your freind. There is also a program called windowblinds which may do what you want. Let us know.

    My main rig runs Vista Ultimate or Server 2008. Depending on which Acronis image I decide to load.
right personalize and around there should be something called windows color...

You can't change the colour of the taskbar by itself. I have tried but mine still stays grey. You have to change either the theme of your desktop, or turn on glass setting on aero. So try that first.
