I still could not reseolve the taskbar problem. Any ideas?
My taskbar does not show the active program buttons, although it shows QuickLaunch bar, Time etc correctly. When I start a new program, nothing is shown in the taskbar, so, to switch to a another program I have to go through Alt+Tab combinations. The dotted bar for resizing the quicklaunch bar is on the left of it (between Start and Quicklaunch) and it is useless. When I select not to display quicklaunch, the taskbar automatically hides itself even when the Autohide taskbar property is unchecked. Any help will be very much appreciated.
