Hi, I've searched the forums but didnt find a post that deals with my problem so seeking some help here. every morning when i startup my computer my taskbar gets jumlbed up. this morning, somehow besides that, whenever i open a program for example ie, 2 icons of ie appeared in my taskbar. when i close ie from one of the 2 icons, the ie closes. what i'm trying to say is that the 2 icons on my taskbar refers to the same application....is there anyway to delete the 2nd duplicate icon?
i've tried shifting the task bar of it all over but it's still there. please help!

hmmm..i've never heard of a dublicating icon problem before, but the best thing I would recommend to try would be the icon repair function, which is available from the Tweak UI program available via download from micrsoft. Best of luck to ya, -Bashful Brian
