Missing icons on task bar Please help

[Guest]

Hi

Can anyone help please with this problem i am having with my computer at the
moment.

The task bar is displayed on the computer but for the past few days none of
the open application icons are displayed on the task bar now which is a pain.

Can anyone please tell me how to fix this problem.

Many thanks

Mia

I would try this tool.

Or, try Safe Mode - press the F8 key (a few times while XP is booting). Then
try Normal mode.

Thanks Micheal

I have tried the tool but its not working, is there anything else you can
think of?

I personally haven't witnessed this behavior, but some have found this to be
caused by a corrupted user profile for their XP login account.

According to my Google search, they were told to create a new user account
(or profile) and copy certain data from the corrupted profile.
