Hide inactive icons

[Roy Colson]

Did a clean reinstall of XP SP2 Home. So far everything seems OK with the
exception of the "Hide inactive Icons" feature does not work. No little
arrow on the task bar.

Is there a fix?

Thanks,

Roy

Hi Roy,
Right click the Start Button and select Properties from the list, then on
the Taskbar and Start Menu properties click on Taskbar Tab.
On the Taskbar Tab make sure this check box is checked:
[ √ ] Hide inactive icons
You can Click o Customize Button opposite and see there the settings or you
can click on Restore Button to restore to default.
HTH.
Let us know.

Hi Roy,

if you want more control over your icons you may be interested in the
useful "PS Tray Factory" application - see <http://www.pssoftlab.com/>
