Hide Inactive Icons

[imbac]

The hide inactive icons feature has stop working just for my user setup. I've tried turning the feature off and on. I've checked to make sure that my active icons are setup hiding. Everythings appears to be ok, except that it won't work. What should I try?

To customize notifications.

Right-click the taskbar, and then click Properties.
On the Taskbar tab, under Notification area, select the Hide inactive icons check box.

Click Customize.
In the Name column, click the notification you want to change, in the Behavior column, click the behavior you want in the list, and then click OK.

On the Taskbar tab, click Apply.


If the above procedure no longer works for you, but once did, here are a couple of things to try.

See if System Restore will get you back to a restore point before your problem with Windows.

Run the System File Checker program from the Run Box by typing.....Sfc /Scannow in it and have your XP CD handy.
