All the icons and the hide old icons symbol have disappeared on my task bar.
Anyone know what has happened and how to fix it?
 
One additional comment. When I check the properties on the task bar, the
lower area where you can indicate to hide the inactive icons is grey the only
thing dark is "show the clock".
 
Wesley I am not sure what you are talking about. I am new to this and don't
know what to do. Sorry I am not sharp enough to figure it out.
 
Jim,

Not a problem.

Click this link

It should take you to..
Troubleshooting Windows XP, Tweaks and Fixes for Windows XP

If it is not a live link for you, copy it and paste it in the Address bar of
Internet Explorer and click Go.

Once you are at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
scroll down to 290 and click on Hide Inactive Icons - Greyed Out

enableautotray.reg is the file you need to download. Clicking on Hide
Inactive Icons - Greyed Out starts the download process.

Download enableautotray.reg somewhere where you can find it again, like your
Desktop.

Once downloaded, double click on enableautotray.reg and click Yes to the
message that pops up.

Then reboot.
