Hi Ilene,

Restore the Desktop and Taskbar to default functionality:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm

Once all is working properly:

Save Settings on Exit (Line 54)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

Good luck!

All the Best,
