Task Bar?

[Guest]

What would cause the task bar settings to change? ie: the ability to view
inactive icons disappears. Can not access the volume control. A reboot sets
it back up with the ability to view inactive task bar functions through the
expand task bar icon. ( > )
It keeps diappearing. Windows XP Pro

Hi,

Sometimes this is a symptom of the explorer shell restarting. MVP Kelly's
Taskbar Repair Tool may help with this, see:

Norman,
Don't know if it will help, but when you rightclick the taskbar and choose
properties on the taskbar tab at the bottom there is an option to customize
the behaviour of the icons appearing or disappearing.
