Taskbar

[Guest]

My applications I have open are not displaying along the taskbar - when I
press minimise they seem to be hiding somewhere. They are showing up on the
task manager but not on the Taskbar. There doesn't seem to be a spot for
them on the toolbar for active applications. Does anybody know how I can
correct this?

is there a dotted vertical line on the taskbar pointing toward the
clock...if so try and move itto the left and your running programs may
appear

no there isnt - i tried unlocking the taskbar as i thought this may be the
reason. but no luck. tried looking on control panel etc, but still haven't
worked out how to sort it. i updated my laptop with service pack 2 today,
it's been the same since. :-S

is the taskbar hidden..run your cursor to the bottom of the screen and see
if the taskbar pops up

did you check the control panel taskbar options..there are a few things
there that can make it disappear

yeah i have, i'm all out of ideas it's been driving me nuts. i've gone
through taskbar and startmenu properties, restarted the comp... the windows
media player toolbar, start icon, quicklaunch and the clock are there, just
none of my open applications there :-S

Use Tweak-UI, Taskbar category and check that the option box " Show
Taskbar Notification Icons" is checked. Also, increase the Taskbar depth
and check the vertical bars that separate different segments of the taskbar
or check the placement of the expand/collapse Chevrons.

I recently had a similar problem. Most of my system tray icons were not
"shown" when the programs was definitely running. After several Internet
searches, I found the 'UPnP User interface" was the cause of my problems.
Could this cause this problem also?
