Taskbar shows multiple instances of same application

[Guest Wolfgang]

Hi,

Cecked the forums and could not ind a response - therefore I am posting my

question.

 

I am running XP and just upgraded to IE 8 Beta. After rebooting my taskbar

is doubling the application portion.

 

Is there a way to delete one of these sections? Right clicking and

selecting the toolbars is not working.

 

Appreciate your thoughts

Hi Wolfgang,

 

Are you saying each app on the Taskbar has two icons?

 

Or is there another row added for icons? If another row, right click on

a free area on the Taskbar and select "Lock the Taskbar" (if there isn't

a check mark next to it, it's already unlocked). Move your mouse to the

edge of the Taskbar until it turns into a double ended arrows, the left

click and move it back up to one row. Now right click on the Taskbar

again and select "Lock the Taskbar".

 

You could also try uninstalling IE8 if what I described above isn't it.
