multiple instances of toolbars in taskbar

[Ben]

Hi,

I'm using Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 1.

One fine day i started up my PC and all of a sudden the taskbar was divided
in 4 parts, 2 of which are holding the icons of programs opened and 2 others
that hold nothing. (Normal users would have 1 area in the taskbar that hold
all minimized progs.) The funny thing is that each program has an icon in
both (those 2), as if it's mirrored (or 2 instances of the toolbar are
alive).

Anyway, it's taking up too much space below so i'd like to know how i can
get rid of this.

I *have* searched the KB and support site/groups but without any luck so
far, in the groups some similar posts are there, but never with an adequate
solution mentioned. some guys trying to sell his program, of which i don't
know it it will work or not. Does anyone know how to *Set the Taskbar to
default* ??

Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,

Ben

PS: Sorry for crossposting i this is not done here.. i'm not familiar with
these particular groups.
