Sean,

Do you have Google Deskbar installed?

A strange occurance...occasionally, the IE icon on the Taskbar will only display one character instead of the entire page name.

For example:
When www.microsoft.com is typed, the icon usually displays "Microsoft Corporation - Microsoft Internet Explorer" on the Taskbar.


However, intermittently I will sometimes get just an "M" on the icon. I cannot cause this to happen with any particular key stroke and seems to be random. It has occurred with numerous other webpages as well, with only their first initial appearing on the IE icon. If I hit <CTRL-N> and open a duplicate IE page, the full title appears normally on the Taskbar.

This is a clean installation of WinXP Pro Ver. 2002 SP2 and IE Ver. 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519. The harddrive was reformatted less than a week ago. All Microsoft updates have been installed. Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software are routinely run.

Any solution to this mystery? I'll provide any additional requested info to help track this down.

Sean
