Still No ICONs appear on taskbar when programs are minimized
No matter what program I minimize, no ICONs are added
to my taskbar located at the buttom of my screen. If I hit CNTRL ALT DEL after minimizing the program, the program is still running because it is listed in the table. Or I can restore the program by using the ALT TAB keys but cannot restore the program by clicking on an ICON in the task bar because No ICON is present. I have tried the following: 1) Restoring my register. 2) Some have suggested that I might have the FriendGreeting Worm. However, I have run two different virus checkers with updated virus definitions files and neither commercial virus checker detected any viruses. I have appreciated those who have taken the time to respond to this issue in the past. Does anybody have a solution to the above problem? |

When you do the Vulcan 3 finger keyboard pinch (CTRL+ALT+DEL) does Systray appear in the list? If not, that may be the reason. Have you added any software, or uninstalled any software prior to this bit of nastiness? -- Sincerely, | (©) (©) | ------ooo--(_)--ooo------ Andrew H. Carter | /// \\\ d(-_-)b | |

Yes, the systray is listed in the task table after hitting=20
CNTR ALT DEL. I'm not sure if new software has been loaded since that=20 time or not (and I wouldn't know what software packages=20 have been loaded since then). I'm not exactly sure how=20 long this problem has existed since my son discovered it=20 sometime ago. =20 -----Original Message----- On Fri, 16 Jul 2004 22:52:15 -0700, "Neil" wrote: No matter what program I minimize, no ICONs are added to my taskbar located at the buttom of my screen.

Doing a websearch, it might be perhaps that you have the FriendGreeting Trojan http://home.earthlink.net/~leetutor/...k/pgmbuttn.htm or http://tinyurl.com/47cfq http://securityresponse.symantec.com...reet.worm.html or http://tinyurl.com/2m5o -- Sincerely, | (©) (©) | ------ooo--(_)--ooo------ Andrew H.
