White Taskbar

[SammyT]

Hi
I logged on yestersay and my taskbar had turned white (it
still is!!). I have not changed any settings (I tried to
reverse it doing this) I have tried various things but
nothing so far has worked. It looks really silly and I am
worried I have a bug/virus (I have ran a scan and it came
up clear!!).
The only things that I did the day before were to use
microsoft money for the first time and dowload messanger
6.0.
Please help
Thankyou

Right-click your desktop, properties, appearance tab, have your preferences changed?
You might want to experiment with different colors and settings.

Try changing them, and then changing them back.

Hi Sammy,

Run this edit then crash Explorer.exe.

Restore Taskbar to Default Functionality (Line 164)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Note: Do not reboot or logoff. Once the edit is merged, right click the
Notification Area/Task Manager/Processes. Highlight Explorer.exe, End
Process.

Leave the Task Manager open. Once the process has ended, choose File/New
Task and type in: Explorer.exe.
