taskbar buttons "disappeared"

[Guest]

Silly question, but..
Normally active elements should be reduced to taskbar buttons when
minimized; which does not happen anymore with my computer. Thus, I have to
switch between my documents using alt+tab. How to get my taskbar buttons
back??
I will be sincerely grateful if anyone could help.
