minimize disapears
Just a WAG since there is once cause of this behaviour that is so old and
therefore fairly well known and which has been picked up by most decent antivirus applications and the like for the last six or eight months but ..... Have you perhaps received and opened a copy of the FriendsGreeting worm? If so in addition to sending unsolicited e-mails and further copies of itself to everyone in your address book it also has the unpleasant side effect you are seeing of removing minimised applications from the task bar. More information on this worm and how to remove it may be obtained from the sites listed below.

Taskbar
-----Original Message----- Message unavailable When I minimize anything it disappears. I went to help and they said to click on my taskbar and click on Minimize all windows. Mine isn't highlighted in order to click on it. |

Taskbar
Just a WAG since there is one cause of this behaviour that is pretty old and
should have been picked up by most decent antivirus applications provided their reference signatures have been updated sometime in the last six or eight months but .....
