Taskbar date

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

Nope.

This is a known problem. A couple of ways to band-aid this. Reboot or
logoff and log back on. Hide the Taskbar then show it again.

Kill explorer and restart it.

Open Task Manager...

Ctrl + Shift + Escape | Processes tab | Locate and highlight
explorer.exe | Right click explorer.exe | End Process | Answer
Yes | File | New Task (Run...) | Type: explorer | OK

End Task on explorer.exe will make your Desktop and all programs disappear.
Restarting explorer will bring everything back.

Hi Warren,

Nope.

It won't last.

But you know what to do when the Balloon tips are hidden behind Taskbar
again. ;-)
