RE: Taskbar and start menu properties box (not responding) in WinX

Thank you for the suggestion. Downloaded and installed the vb file as
suggested and rebooted , but problem still persists. That is, when opening
"taskbar and start menu properties", if I click OK the box will freeze and
not close, but if I click cancel first it will close.

Any more fixes please?

Double click the vbs file. You will be prompted when the script is done.

Recently I went in to customise a taskbar item in the "Task bar and start
menu properties", clicked OK then Apply and clicked OK again, the box just
froze. Had to click on the X to close box, another box comes up titled
"Explorer.exe" and the comment was "This program is not responding".
Clicked on OK to close this box. I thought this was a one off but tried
several times and same things happens, ie the task bar menu box will not
close off if I click on OK, but if I click cancel first the task bar menu box
will close. This means that I can no longer make any changes in my task bar.

I have Win XP Home SP2 with all the critical and non critical updates.
Computer is self built and 7 months old. Have not installed any new programs
for several months. Holding off on System Restore as I would like to know
why this is happening. Any suggestions please??
