Wierd Problem with the taskbar

[bmaffin13]

Hi, I'm wondering how I can get the programs that I have running to show up in the taskbar again. It is not my computer so I can't tell you what happened to make it disapear, but it is gone and I can't seem to get them back. Quicklaunch and all the other one's in the toolbar menu work fine. Can't seem to find the option that would let me select to show the running programs in it. Only way to change windows is through taskmanager or Alt-Tabing.

Any idea's?

you say it is not your computer...

Are you in a server run enviroment school..??

the administrator might have shut it off if so..

Stand up wherever you are, go to the nearest window and yell as loud as you can, 'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore.'

Its my mom's work computer. We are a small family run electrical contractor.

Asked her some more, said she noticed it after she installed norton AV. Dunno if that helps or has anything to do with it.

A possible solution might be to google this sentence:
unhide running tasks on taskabar

There is alot of programs that can shut on and off running tasks on the taskbar.

Maybe this is a silly idea, but these things happen ...

Is the bar full of icons? Could be possible that the size of the programs area has been resized to zero?

Cheers,
