I'm not sure if this is this right place to post this or not, if it isn't
could someone please redirect me?
When I minimize a program it disappears, (it no longer shows up, minimized,
at the bottom of my screen, on the toolbar, like it's supposed to.
If it's an internet page it minimizes properly, but all others, such as word
documents, or files or folders, just disappear (when I CTRL+ALT+DEL to see
the open files, it says they are opened, but I have no way of maximizing them
again.

If anyone has any idea what has caused this, or how to fix it, please let me
know...
