Odd. Do you actually have Quick Launch enabled? It's hard to tell in those small pictures (and it doesn't help that I use Classic mode), but I don't see a Quick Launch menu. Go to Start > Task Bar and Start Menu and make sure that Show Quick Launch is checked.I think I know what's causing the problem...
Take a look at the attached image...
You will see two dotted lines that separate your quick launch buttons from the rest of the items open on your taskbar. The first dotted line should be just to the right of your Start button...
Find the second one and move it to the left and or right, depending on where it's located, so it ends up just after your Quick Launch buttons, just after the first one (if Quick Launch is not enabled), or just before any other items that are open on your taskbar.
This should solve your problem...keep us posted...That thought occured to me, but he doesn't appear to have the dividing dots on his taskbar (good thing to bring up, though). Also, it seems strange to me that he'd be able to ADD an icon to his normal taskbar. Can this normally be done in the default XP mode? It certainly can't be done in Classic as far as I know.Actually, taking a look at both of the images he suppled, the top one shows Quick Launch enabled, while the bottom image shows it disabled.
Since the size of the images are so small, you can't see these dotted lines, but you can see them on the image you supplied, CBMatt...
Quick Launch icons can be viewed in both XP and Classic mode.I must be missing something...I don't see where he has Quick Launch enabled in either of his pictures. Actually, scratch that, I just saw what you're talking about. I was looking only at the comparison pictures. I didn't notice the very bottom of the main picture. Sorry about that. R.S, try Saviour's suggestion and see if that works for you.
Saviour,
I realize that Quick Launch can viewed in either mode. I'm talking about adding an item to the taskbar, not Quick Launch. Look at his second comparison picture. When he adds IE to it, it's added to the normal taskbar and not Quick Launch. Is this normal? I tried switching to default XP and it doesn't happen to me. Maybe he has his Quick Launch set on top of his taskbar?CBMatt...
In both of his photos...
The top shows the taskbar with a Word Document open on it.
The bottom shows the taskbar with an "e" (Which is Quick Launch - on)...and the open Word document underneath it.
I'm not quite sure what your're reading into these photos, but to me...it appears normal...other than the fact he needs to follow the above suggestion in ORDER to fix his problem.
So...right now...to be honest...I'm not seeing the same thing you are seeing.
Quote The bottom shows the taskbar with an "e" (Which is Quick Launch - on)...and the open Word document underneath it.
That's the one I'm referring to. IE appears to be with the tasks and not part of Quick Launch. Get what I'm saying? This would be much easier to explain in person. Ha. Regardless, I think the problem is that his Quick Launch is actually on top of his taskbar. Grab the left divider (the dots closest to Start) and drag upwards and it will create the safe effect that R.S is getting. So, theoretically, doing the same thing in reverse should set R.S's taskbar and Quick Launch back to normal. It's basically the same as your suggestion, but going in a different direction.I understand now...and you're ABSOLUTELY right...
He can just click the first dotted line and drag it to the bottom...fixing his problem...short and sweet...
QuoteThat's the one I'm referring to. IE appears to be with the tasks and not part of Quick Launch.
If that icon were a taskbar button for an IE window, it would be accompanied by text. Since the Quick Launch toolbar displays icons only, it appears to be part of Quick Launch. What does seem odd is that IE is the only thing on the Quick Launch bar. Normally it would include the Show Desktop icon. Perhaps he had previously modified the contents of his Quick Launch toolbar.
I agree with the general notion in this discussion that R.S needs to adjust his/her taskbar to allow Quick Launch toolbar and taskbar buttons to appear without causing the double -line taskbar.
Saviour: It won’t move. (The dotted lines.) I think I did try that one before, with no luck. Thanks anyway. O. I just went to quick lunch, and it made the 2ed picture, and I just moved the line to put the programs level with the quick lunch. Thanks for the idea. . It’s better now. .

Glad to hear you've got this sorted out now. Be sure to come back if you ever run into any other problems.I will. I have this place book marked. Thanks.
