Taskbar and active window odd behavior

T

thufur

So when my user has programs open, the icons on the taskbar wont reopen
with a single click anymore, but appear to minimize when you click
again (its very quick, like a ghost box minimizes). Very odd.

Also, when you hit CTRL+ALT+DEL, the taskmanager box isnt active - you
have to manually click on it to make it active.

He has XP, sp2 and has not installed anything recently.

Changes I tried:

If the application has a shortcut on your Desktop or on the Quick
Launch bar, you can control how Windows opens it. To do this,
right-click the program's icon and click Properties. Select the
Shortcut tab and click the down arrow in the Run field. Select
Minimized or Maximized (whichever you prefer) from the Run drop-down
menu and click OK.

To change to a single-click in WinMe/2000/XP, open Windows Explorer,
open the Tools menu, and select Folder Options. In the Folder Options
dialog box, click the General tab and select the Single-Click To Open
An Item [Point To Select] radio button
