Hello,

I'm not sure how I did it, but minimized programs are not showing in my
Taskbar in Windows XP.  I can restore running programs by using alt-Tab, but
that's not very convenient.  

I have searched the control panel but have been unable to find where this
would be set.  I have searched the MS page but no luck.  I've Google'd, and
found a lot of people with the same problem, but no solutions.

I have not yet installed SP2 (I've got enough problems as it is).

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Thanks for your help.  I had seen this site in my travels but was nervous
about using it.  Since you recommended it, I gave it a go.  Also because the
fix was in .vbs I could read it first, which was comforting.  Anyway, it
worked well and thanks again.
