Duplicate Toolbars

[Guest Yuri NLD]

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

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.
