Hide inactive icons not working.

I have had to re-install XP Home +SP2 and for the first few hours everything
looked normal except for a missing address bar in IE6. (Kindly solved in
this NG yesterday).

Today the double headed circular symbol is missing from the task bar and
startup items are creeping along the bar taking up too much space. the Hide
Inactive Icons box is checked in task bar properties.

I'm lost and hope that fix can be suggested.
