On the taskbar properties, when I go to Customize-I can
not change or select
anything except "Hide when inactive".
Well, the way it's *supposed" to work, is that you have to click
whatever it is once (like "active") and then there should be a drop down
menu appear to let you change it. It confused me a bit at first because I
didn't see the options there until after I'd clicked it once to start
with. Maybe that's not your problem. I'm having problems of my own in
that department. I have one icon (ICQ) that shows up "Hide when Active"
every time I start my computer. I can change it to Always Show and it'll
only stay put till I reboot again.
