Task tabs of running softwares(IE..etc) not shown on windo..

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

Hi All,

Please help me with this problem, when I turned on my computer today, my
windows xp taskbar messed up, Quick Launch tabs all over the taskbar, and
when I open IE or other softwares, I can not see these task tabs on the
taskbar(taskbar is visible), if i minimize IE, then it becomes invisible, if
I want to use IE again, I need to use Alt+Tab key to switch among running
softwares. All the task tabs are invisible. I don't know what happened to
windows xp.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

David
