Taskbar - Open Programs 'disappear' from taskbar

Posted: 10-21-2003, 03:02 AM
Hi, I have a problem that I need some help with....

I am running XP Professional and have found that the
current 'open programs' do not show as taskbar buttons. I
have to Alt+Tab to change programs.

The taskbar appears to function normally apart from this
glitch.

How do I restore the 'open programs taskbar buttons' to
the taskbar?

Thanks
Gareth

Hi Gareth,

Run the edit on line 240:

Had the same problem, and have been searching for the solution for weeks!.
Tried this and it works great. Nice to have my taskbar working again.
