Minimized programs not shown in Taskbar

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm not sure how I did it, but minimized programs are not showing in my
Taskbar in Windows XP. I can restore running programs by using alt-Tab, but
that's not very convenient.

I have searched the control panel but have been unable to find where this
would be set. I have searched the MS page but no luck. I've Google'd, and
found a lot of people with the same problem, but no solutions.

I have not yet installed SP2 (I've got enough problems as it is).

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Thanks for your help. I had seen this site in my travels but was nervous
about using it. Since you recommended it, I gave it a go. Also because the
fix was in .vbs I could read it first, which was comforting. Anyway, it
worked well and thanks again.
