This is not possible. Perhaps if you were to explain your reason for
wanting this, someone might consider it important enough to provide
this as an option.

Try the following in your .emacs:

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(vertical-scroll-bars . nil))

On Windows, you can make Emacs maximize its Window with the following:

(w32-send-sys-command #xf030)

In the near future, there will also be command-line options to
maximize the Window, or maximize in one dimension only (the
command-line options have recently been implemented on X, but not yet
ported to the Windows version).
