Hi,
I have the following key mapping and it just works fine on M$. You
can add tests to check if tool bar is enabled and remove it, restore
it later by storing keeping track (the way I restore - max/restore).
(global-set-key [(control ?=)] '(lambda ()
(interactive)
(if (and (boundp '*frame-max) *frame-max)
(progn
(setq *frame-max nil)
(w32-send-sys-command 61728))
(progn
(setq *frame-max t)
(w32-send-sys-command 61488)))))
