Taskbar is Duplicating Running Applications Icons!
My Windows XP taskbar has been strangely miss behaving recently!
Whenever I open a new window, the taskbar will show another duplicate icon next to it on the same taskbar. The same thing happens with folders, running programs and browsers! In other words, I am getting two icons for running applications or programs on my taskbar instead of getting ONE.
However, I noticed that I have two segments for running programs on the taskbar when unlocked.
Please help me to solve this annoying problem.
Thank you…
