After a successful Win XP SP2 install - Unusual appearnce of program buttons on the taskbar

[Larry Diaz]

I successfully installed the Windows XP SP2 RTM a few days ago. The only
unexpected change I experienced was the appearance of the running program
buttons on the taskbar. Before the installation these buttons were
rectangular boxes of varying width depending on the number of them. Now the
buttons are small rectangular boxes of fixed width that display the running
program's icon and the first letter of the program's name.

Has anyone seen this change? How can I get the program buttons in the
taskbar to display as before?

Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry,

I have not seen this behavior. However, to correct...run my undo script
from line 97:
