Default MINIMIZE BUTTON ??????????

I do not know what happened to this computer but when I go
into a program like pogo.com and use the minimize button
it shuts the program down instead of going to bottom of
screen like it used to. Just started doing this last
night. It does this with others too not just Pogo. It was
just fine before, always put programs at bottom so you
could bring back up when you wanted to. Also I noticed
that the Quick Launch button says Show Desk Top and I
believe it had something else on there besides that. Can
anyone help me fix these problems? Any help vey much
appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Sue,
Please download and apply the following edit:

Programs Aren't Minimized in the Taskbar (Line 240)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

After this do NOT log-off or re-boot. Simply right click on the taskbar and
select task manager. Flip to the processes tab and highlight EXPLORER.EXE
and click on end process. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog too. After
this click on FileNew Task and type explorer.exe and press enter.

Thanks Anando.

Sue, if you have already downloaded the vb script. Re-download it. It has
since been modified. Good luck!
