Windows disappear when minimizing

Posted: 06-06-2006, 10:59 AM
Recently (i.e. today) I am no longer able to minimize open windows to the
task bar.
They just completely disappear, although continue to run and can only be
accessed through the ALT+TAB function.

Is there a configuration that may have been altered?

Hmm, yes, there is, but darned if I can find it at the moment.
Try this: Right click an open area of the desktop, and select
Arrange Icons By and look at the menu that drops down. There is
quite a bit more there than just arranging the desktop icons.

KB314227 may help you with this if I've picked the right one.

PS - It's not simply that you somehow dragged the top of the
taskbar all the way down, is it? Try using your moust to grab
the bottom most part of your screen and drag upwards with it.
