Help! my taskbar is jinxed!

[bassetrox]

After logging on to my windows xp laptop the taskbar takes a long time
to load. this has not always been the case but i am unable to remember
when it started to happen. Every program works and general speed does
not appear to be hampered however the start menu does not open, sytem
tray and quick launch icons are inaccessible also the buttons of open
programmes (i forget the correct term) do not appear. Can anyone tell
me how to rectify this? Help!

Thanks in advance.

Hello ,

I suggest you visit MS-MVP Kelly's website at
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Note the instructions at the top of the page,
then scroll down to line 164,
(Restore Taskbar to Default Functionality)

Right-click the hyperlink, then click | Save Target As |
to download the file, "xp_taskbar_desktop_fixall.vbs",
then double-click and follow the prompts.
