Inactive taskbar icons wont hide

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Are you referring to icons in the Notification Area (to the immediate left
of your clock)?

Open the Customize Notifications tab again > Select the first one in the
list and change it to another setting, if only temporarily > OK your way out
and wait a little bit (or reboot).

If you have no icons in the true Taskbar, the Notification Area icons might
not auto-hide.
