Taskbar program buttons still missing!

[rick speaect]

I have been having the same problem. What I finilly had
to do was to log in as administrator. Explore into the
documents and setting folder. Copy the entire folder
including the hidden files to a new file that I created
then delete the entire folder with my login name. When I
relogon using my login the system creates a new user
folder. I then loged on as administrator and coppied
over my favorites, my documents and my desktop folders to
the new folder. I did fix my problem.
