If this is the problem where, when opening various programs, folders in Win
Explorer & so on, cause all folders and the Taskbar to disappear from the
desktop and then re-appear several seconds later (often in the process
losing half the links in Systray); it's been debated quite a few times over
the last months, but I have yet to see a valid reason for it - or a fix.
I'd also like to know, as I have the same problem on 2 PCs.
One MS fix has been put up several times, but it relates to one specific
problem which doesn't seem to really quite apply to this one & their
recommendation is not to use it unless you actually have that specific
problem.
