If listed more than once, then 'end' each one of them.\n\n\nyour entire desktop will disapear now.\n\n\nnow, click 'file', 'new task (run)', then type 'explorer.exe' no quotes \n\nand it should come back as new. \n\nIf problem remains, then a group policy may be in force.\n\nHOPE THIS HELPS !\n\n-------------------------\nadditional info:\n\nIf your desktop is closing after only a few seconds, and there is NO error displayed, then it was killed on purpose...\nand I'm sorry to say you've been infected with a virus of some kind.  Take it to a professional for cleaning.\n\n:(

Some programs have the option to be in the systray on their menu.  You just kinda have to look for it.  One other thing you can try,  Right click the start button, goto Properties,  Click on the Taskbar option and Customize in the bottom right corner.  From there you can choose what is on the systray and whether to hide, show, etc.

Simply right click on Taskbar and click properties, under Start Menu click Customize >> Go to Advance Tab >> Under Start Menu Items >> Check Enable drag and Dropping.\n\nI am assuming you are using Windows Xp Start Menu not classic menu.\n\nFor classic Menu same as above, just click customize buttom under classic menu and check enable drag and dropping.\n\nLet know if its works

First, "right click" on the task bar and make sure that the "lock task bar" option is not checked.  Then hold down your left mouse button and drag the task bar to the position desired.

Right click on the taskbar, and uncheck where is says "Lock the Taskbar".  Then you will be able to place the cursor on the upper edge of the bar and drag it down to make it smaller.  Once done, you may want to relock the taskbar to avoid accidental moves or resizes in the future.

Click and drag your task bar to the lower bottom. It will perfectly come and sit at the bottom of the screen.

Right click on your desktop and choose "properties"\n\nthen choose "settings"\n\nthen you will see a little bar that can be adjusted to the left and right. Find a setting you like and hit "apply". If you like the effect, click ok and close it, if not, choose another setting until you have it like you want it.

Sounds to me like it is actually an active desktop item. Left click on it and a border may appear. Then x it

Assuming youre talking about I.E:\nGo to VIEW then TOOLBARS and you can uncheck or check what you want to see or not see.\n\nFor Desktop icons:\nThey are all shortcuts, you can just delete them.

I don't think you can do that.  I mean maybe with some major registry tweaks, but it's not worth the problems it would most definitely cause.  If you're worried about someone looking over your shoulder and seeing what progs your running...just put the TaskBar on AutoHide.
