Open apps missing from tasknar

[Guest Jim Hawkins]

Windows XP Home Edition, SP2:

Don't know what I've done, but my bottom taskbar doesn't show my running

apps any more.

I have to open the Task Manager to see what's running.

What do I have to do to get them back ?

Hi,

Have you tried right-clicking on the taskbar and choosing properties?

You can either uncheck the box for Hide Inactive Icons or click

Customize next to that and see if you have anything in there you want to

"show".

Take Care...

Yes, tried all the usual things - no effect.

But 'Lady Kelly's tool' did the trick. A very slick little utility.

Hi there...

Kelly is the phenom of support for these Operating Systems. I am a

power user and an advanced user and I have been using her tips since XP

made its debut. I recommend them to many people. Glad you solved your

problem.

Also, Kudos to Doug Knox and Ken Blake who are two I have faith in and

have been impressed with for years. They won't steer you wrong.

Take Care...

Hi Ken...

And it is all well deserved. It's been awhile since I have been to the

newsgroups but I remember well the old Windows 98 days and communicating

with you when we first began delving into the XP OS.

Wanted to make mention to new users to your always sound and good advice

and tips.

Take Care Ken,

Dee

PS...

What happened to Shep and Peter Forrest? Any ideas? Can't seem to

locate them.

Take Care...

Thanks again, Dee. Yes, I remember you well, too.

Shep and I have occasionally corresponded by private E-mail, but it's

been quite a while since I last heard from him. Last I heard he was

still active in alt.windows98, but it's been a long time since I've

been there and I don't know if he still is.

 

I understand that Peter became very busy with his music, and hasn't

had much time to devote to his computer interests. But I haven't heard

from him in a long while either, so things may have changed since

then.

Re: Open apps missing from tasknar

 

Hi Ken...

And thanks for the info.

Been so busy for a long time and since days of old, I started computer

repair etc...in my area where good shops are hard to find and closing

down left and right. Also, beta testing quite a bit.

We old vets I found are more knowledgeable than the shops that opened

and closed here with the so called "college grads" in the area of

computer hardware and software. Many computers left those shops in

worse shape they went in and came to me.

I've often thought about you and several of us. Call me extremely bias,

but putting several of us together and my thoughts are that no one could

touch us with our combined knowledge and experience. Yes, I am proud of

the handful of us.

I read your posts all time since looking over the NGs again. Kills time

for me in the mornings when I am waking up with my coffee :)

Just wanted again, to let new users know about your excellent and sound

advice.

Hope all is well and take care Ken...

Dee

P.S. Still have Peter's Startman Program and always considered him the

"Father" of Tweak UI. I recall well the original Langa List and way

back when, when Langa mentioned any one of us, I considered it a

privilege to be mentioned by him.

Anyway...

It's good to still see you in the NGs and know the advice you give is

coming from one of the best!

In the interest of saving space, I snipped most of the kind words you

wrote, but I wanted to sincerely thank you again for all of them.
