I use the Show Desktop feature on my taskbar often, however this also minimizes my dock. I have a program called Rocket Dock that I would like to stay maximized when I click Show Desktop so I was wondering if there's a way to exclude this program from being minimized.
View 5 RepliesI have an issue with my new clean install on XP. Every time I boot, C:Program Files keps opening. Here is the stuff I have tried so far. I looked in msconfig, the startup folder and in Startup on my programs list and it doesn't show up in any of these places. It isn't a new program, so it's not because I installed it recently. Here is HiJack This log for reference. I dont have clue what's to look in this. But may be it will help you. Similarly I have copy-pasted contents from autoexec.bat,win.ini and sys.ini for debugging. You may notice that there is TaskMgr link in startup. But its just one of my app I need on startup in my taskbar. It startup as minimized and it has setting "Hide on Minimized" checked in TaskManager. So It remains in taskbar always.

View 10 Replies View RelatedHow do I exclude a specific folder from system restore? The solution mentioned here is wrong. http://www.tweakxp.com/article37472.aspx
That excludes the file from NTBackup.
When using system restore to back up your data, you might want to make sure that you are not wasting backup space by saving useless folders that may include temp file or other non-necessary files. To exclude folders, follow the directions below.
1) Open Regedit and navigate to HKEY_Local_MachineSystemCurrentControlSetControlBackupRestoreFilesNotTobackup2) Choose Edit, new, multi-string value3) Give a descriptive name4) Double-click the value and input the full folder path you wish to exclude and click OKSystem restore will no longer monitor this folder and backups will not be made of the files contained in it.
I was on my Windows XP account and I accidentally opened PowerPoint and then a little notice speech bubble appeared on my taskbar so I clicked the little [X] and it didn't close. Then I ignored it, thinking it would close sooner or later, closed PowerPoint and then my computer froze (but i could move the mouse) and then the taskbar went black! I can't access the Start or Taskbar! Help me this isn't even my computer, it's actually my mom's and I'm afraid I broke it!Then I wanted to completely close my account, so I went on my mom's Window XP account and tried to close it but I'm still logged in! Are there Hot Keys I can use to log off without using the Start button?

When I start Notepad it starts up minimized on the taskbar and will not come up no matter what I try which isn't much. I just stays minimized. I can right click it and get Maximize, Restore etc. but it just stays there.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have noticed since one of my last windows update that I am having a problem clicking once a minimized window to bring it on top. I literally have to click the minimized window three times before I can get it to come on top.The first time I click it shows the minimized window depressed then highlighted, the 2nd time I click it goes through the motion of minimizing an already minimized window (you actually see it minimizing); and the 3rd time I click brings the window to the front.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have had a problem recently where any minimized windows that are updated (such as IMs) don't flash on my taskbar.I have narrowed this to a problem in my register- I was told that Fore ground Lock Timeout is supposed to be set to 30d40, but doing so doesn't help. In addition, every time I reset my computer, the entry is reset to 0. What can keep my registry from being saving this information?Running Windows XP Pro, and I have no idea how this problem even started.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSuddenly, and without my doing, suddenly whatever program I open shows up on my bottom taskbar illegibly. It used to be that each program had a nice 1.5 inches or so all lined up along the taskbar below, from left to right.. Now, all the programs operate 1cm at the far right of my toolbar, between my language setting and the small-icon taskbar. They are all piled up on top of one another, regardless of application, with 2 small up and down arrow buttons. I can't even tell you how uncomfortable it is to switch from window to window or program to program.How can I switch this back?My computer is not restoring for some reason so I have to do this manually.
View 3 Replies View Relatedso I've had this problem for a while now and it's been bugging me for weeks until I found this nifty little board here, and a few others(they weren't that helpful).My taskbar won't show my windows when they're minized, or even open actually and the shortcut keys won't hide the extra icons I have anymore. I also screwed up really bad when I just tried to clean my computer with Mcafee quick cleaner and accidentally deleted all my system restore points. Restarting my computer obviously does nothing, so the problem is how do I restore my taskbar to its original state?
View 6 Replies View RelatedEver been annoyed by the ballon that keeps showing when you minimize your callwave caller ID into the tray? It pestered the crap out of me! I happened to be mess'n around with the taskbar, one day and found the fix.
1. Right click an empty spot on the task bar, click properties, on taskbar index. Look in notification, see that the check is in the hide inactive icons. click the customize button.
2. From here the customization window opens. Go to your callwave service and click to "highlight", under behavior, click "scroll box" then click "always hide".While you are in there you can make other icons behaviors act the way you would like to see them displayed. I chose only a couple to view full time, for things that I wanted the fastest access to.
I have a "Forums Folder" on my desktop.When I click on it it opens in a minimized position. I stretch it by the edges to full screen and all is fine.When I click on any of the shortcuts in that folder they sometimes open in a minimized position.I stretch again.The next time I go to open it, I have to do it all over again.
