locked taskbar -- take 2

[David Walden]

Thanks for the reply. However, I tried the things that
you suggested but to no avail.

When I tried the first suggestion (double clicking on the
handle) nothing happened. When I try this action on 98
and XP verions the Programs toolbar kicks over to the far
right but I got no such response from the 2000 machine
that I am working on.

When I tried the second suggestion (right click taskbar-

choose Toolbars->uncheck>quick launch) I was not able to

perform this action. The menus are there but they are
faded so that I am not able to select them.

Sorry to present such a conundrum but do you have any
other suggestions? Thanks for your help. ~David

David,

Have you checked to see if you have a local policy that is disabling these functions? If not, we can do so by running
Gpedit.msc, going to User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar and check the following
policies:

Disable drag-and-drop context menus on the Start Menu
Disable changes to Taskbar and Start Menu Settings
Disable context menus for the taskbar

If any of these are Enabled we want to set them to Not Configured, then restart and see what happens.

I have tried checking the for local policies in the
Gpedit.msc program. All of the three options suggested
were set for "not configured." Any suggestion as for what
to try next? ~David
