Re: Taskbar acting up.

The easiest way to place an application shortcut on the Quick Launch toolbar
is to copy the shortcut from the Start menu.

Cheers.

It is the standard ENGLISH XP under customise: current, then SCROLL
down for
PAST.
Or, is that too, too much to ask you?

Right-click on the Taskbar>Properties>Customise>Current Items>SCROLL
DOWN>PAST ITEMS

See how easy it is Leonard, if you use your brain!

Sorry, I do not have a 'past items list' so I may not be able to help
you any further. Perhaps you are not using an English version of
Windows?

What you are describing sounds like the 'hide inactive icons' feature
of
the Taskbar. That feature is accessed through: Control Panel > Taskbar
and Start Menu > Taskber tab > Hide inactive icons. Is that what you
mean?

Because so many applications use the tray, it can become quite
cluttered. When you place a checkmark in 'Hide inactive icons,'
Windows
automatically hides icons that have not been accessed recently. You
can
access the hidden icons by clicking the arrow to the left of the tray.
You can customize this feature, telling Windows which icons not to
hide,
or you can turn it off altogether by removing the checkmark from 'Hide
inactive icons.'

You need to be a little clearer in your terminology.

The Taskbar is the long bar that runs along the bottom (usually) of
your
monitor. At the very left of the Taskbar is the Start button, which
opens
the Start menu.

Just to the right of the Start button, most people have a toolbar
called
the Quick Launch toolbar, which contains shortcuts to programs,
websites
or your own files (e.g., documents).

At the very right of the Taskbar is the 'system notification area'
(sometimes called the 'tray') which contains icons that allow you
to
access some of the programs that you have running in the
background, i.e.,
without an open window. The tray also shows the time.

When you open a window it creates a button on the Taskbar, to
remind you
of the windows you have opened and to give easy access to those
windows.

There is no such thing as a "past items list." The Start menu has
'My
Recent Documents' which lists user files (e.g., documents,
spreadsheets,
photos) that you recently opened. Could this be what you mean?

Now, please try again and describe exactly what you are seeing with
the
correct terminology. That'll make it a whole lot easier for us.
