Guest Yuri NLD Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 When users logon to the terminal server. They sometimes have multiple toolbars in their taskbar. The toolbars are empty. When the user opens a program: the program is listed twice in the taskbar. The running programs, sort of speak, appears in two toolbars. It looks like the taskbar is duplicated. The other 5 toolbars stay empty. This phenomenon does not happen when an administrator log on to the terminal server. The terminal server is locked down with a GPO. Users are not allowed to make changes to the taskbar. (so they can’t close them now). The terminal server is W2K3,sp2 and member of a W2K3 domain. There might be chance that some toolbars are (empty) language bar’s. I’ve read this article and this is my phenomenon: KB932039 I applied the patch, rebooted the server and now the problem is partially gone. It seems like the duplicate taskbar is gone, but still some empty toolbars are shown. I’ve checked the Explorer.exe version and it match the new applied version number: [Explorer.exe 6.0.3790.4016] What can I do to get rid of the empty toolbars? Best regards, Yuri
Guest Alicia Chen [MSFT] Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Re: Duplicate Toolbars Hi Yuri, This is probably caused by a corrupt setting persisting in the registry. Try the following steps: 1. Kill explorer.exe (via TaskMgr for example). 2. Delete the following REG_BINARY registry value: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop TaskbarWinXP 3. Restart explorer.exe. If this does not work, please contact the shell team for more information. -- Alicia Chen This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
