    task bar help......

    StartupManager will show what is running and allow you disable whatever ones you want (one at a time or all at once.) on the next startup. Read its help file or the information online at PC Magazine's site. This is what I use whenever I have a case of disappearing tray Icons, or want to disable...

    Problem With Right-click on Desktop or in Explorer

    As stated elsewhere: I'll have to fire-up RegEdit and check for that string. I don't know how that could have been added/changed. I suppose it is something that Tweak UI or Xteg X-Setup could have messed with! (I still have context menus when I right click on Start Menu!) The problem is only in...
