how to toggle on&off the menu bar in 3dsmax

How to toggle the menu bar on and off via maxscript. In max 2010 there is a "hide menu bar" option under the quick access toolbar, but it is not exposed anywhere else. I've searched the whole customize user interface , but couldn't find it.
The thing is that I'm using this code(don't remember where I've found it, probably here at polycount):

(
(
val = trackbar.visible
trackbar.visible = not val
timeSlider.setVisible (not val)
statusPanel.visible = not val
)
)

It turns off the status bar, the trackbar and the time slider, leaving the bottom of the interface free. How to expand this script further by hiding the Main Toolbar and the Menu bar too ?

I'm going to necro this thread and ask does anyone out there know how to do this? While I'm here I also might ask does anyone also know how to hide the toolbar of keyframe and "exit expert mode" while in expert mode?

Such a waste of UI space!

Ctrl + X - Toggle Expert Mode

It's amazing how helpful google can be...

It's amazing how many people would rather wait for someone else to do it for them.

That doesn't help me at all. You're just telling me to do something I've already done. I'm talking about completely hiding what I've shown in the above image and the menu bar so I can maximize viewport screen space.

Go into export mode, and then run the script in the first post.

I didn't know that bottom portion was the status bar. Thank you monster. What about the problem that CodeFather had?
Even if you turn the menu bar off here it comes up every single time on a max start.
