Default Button remains on taskbar from Screensaver

After my screensaver has been running for a while, and when I move my mouse
to "wake up" my computer, a button remains on my taskbar that is very
annoying. I had this problem before, but do not remember how I made it stop
appearing. I know it doesn't have to do with the specific screensaver product
though. Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening? Thanks!

Default Button remains on taskbar from Screensaver

Switching screensavers and/or updating the video drivers sometimes helps.

These ghost buttons are often caused by one of these MS updates:
The Win98SE Mapped drives Shutdown update
The Win98SE 1394 Storage Supplement

They may have been installed by the manufacturer, or by Windows Update...if you
don't need them, uninstall them. Search for these INF files:

260067un.inf
242975un.inf

Right-click the INF files and click Install from the context menu, to remove the
updates.

You must have Start Settings Folder Options View tab set to "Show All Files", as
INF files are "hidden" files.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately this didn't take care of the problem,
even though I got rid of both those INFs. Any other suggestions anyone? Thank
you.

Yes I did, but unfortunately this hasn't taken care of it for some reason.
Any other ideas anyone? Thank you very much!
