Minimizing Windows to the task bar

[Guest]

All of a sudden and apparently for no reason, my open windows do not minimise
to the task bar. Instead, they "dissapear" Of course they are still active
and can be restored via the task manager. However, this is very inconvenient
and irregular. I have not been able to find a solution how to restore proper
operation of the minimise to task bar function.

Can anyone help?
