(Windows question) taskbar icons

[ross22]

Hi,

Sorry to post a windows question; I don't know any windows help forums (please let me know a good one!)

On my winxp the taskbar icons for programs that are running disappear eg. the power icon which tells me how much left in the battery; the volume icon and everything!

I have already checked the "Hide inactive icons" button o the properties menu; any other ideas?

Thankyou for your help

Thanks for your help guys.

Unfortunately I've already tried what you've suggested and I still get the same problem.  It's intermittent; all of the icons are set to always show - sometimes they do and other times they don't  :-(

I've been looking for a while for a solution, and I'm still stuck!

I've finally solved my problem!  Her name is Qingqing (my gf  :evil: )

She's been using my computer to download some chinese TV programs using emule (and I'm guessing downloaded something nasty as well).  My solution was simply to delete the temp folder; I don't know what the problem was but it wasn't recognised by any of my spyware or virus programs.

ah well, just happy to get it fixed  :-)   Thankyou all for your help
