cannot hide icons in taskbar

[Joe K]

I opened properties in taskbar.The menu that states "hide when inactive",
"always hide", "always show" is stuck on "hide when inactive".I cannot
change it.There are some icons I want to hide.

See, if resetting the feature helps: "How to Clear Past Items from the
Notification Area" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283084).

Funny thing happened.It wasn't the menu it was the arrow for menu.Clicking
on menu arrow doesn't do anything.But when I hi lite it and use keyboard up
and down arrow ,I can change status to what I need.
To note that deleting the value in registry for the link you gave is a long
process as there is no select all and then delete.
But I got there just the same. Thanks
