Taskbar issue

R

Ronen Ben-Hai

There is a blank section on my taskbar, like for the Language Bar, or for an
Address Bar, but there's nothing in it, and when I right-click on the
Taskbar and look under Toolbars, nothing is checked. How can I get rid of
this blank, useless waste of space???

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ronen,

Line 164. Restore Taskbar to Default Functionality

If the blank space is not removed, it might be a deskband object. Run this program and post the log:

Okay. Downloaded and ran restoretaskbar.reg and it didn't change anything.
Here's the result of the log from Deskbands:

It's a VBScript file and not a REG. Try the direct link here:

BTW, the log shows nothing wrong.

My apologies, Ramesh. Once I rebooted the Taskbar was once again behaving
properly. Nonetheless, I've downloaded the vbs file for future reference.

Thanks again.
