Taskbar problem 2

[mobyduck]

This is driving me nuts - one user with multiple apps minimized to task bar. XP Pro SP2 with everything updated.

Left click on app - nothing. Right click, no option to maximize only to tile (horzontally or vertically) or close group.

None of the minimized apps seem to be related as the user has our accounts system, Outlook 2003, Word 2003 and our HR system open, so changing the 'Group Similar Taskbar apps' has no effect.

Any ideas ??

Sounds like the user has multiple instances of the windows minimized and is out of taskbar real estate so they have been combined into one taskbar button each, representing a group.

There should be a little arrow on the right on the right of the app button - click that and you get a list of the instances that taskbar button represents.

Either that or give them a bigger task bar.

Or disable the "Show in groups" thing which is annoying.

If the above suggestions don't fix it for you have a look at this.

Thanks Guys,

It was the display in groups, but I'm still not sure why as the apps were all different.

Nice one Linney - have a star for that link..
