The Electrifyer Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 I have this problem with my task bar that happens some times when I restart my computer. I used to do a system restore to fix the thing, but I'm hoping someone knows how to fix it without having to do that. The problem is that a new toolbar appears out of nowhere that doesn't even do anything. As you can see from the pictures, there's nothing new that is highlighted in the "Toolbars" either. I'm stumped as to how to remove it... anyone know though?
admin Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 You click the little dotted dividers and drag them to the left or right to get rid of them. Also, try getting rid of the "quick launch toolbar" and turn it back on latter, just in case.
Guest Princess Leena Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 Does it still happen if you lock the taskbar? I don't know, never had that before.

Also, try getting rid of the "quick launch toolbar" and turn it back on latter, just in case. Moving the dividers doesn't work... they don't even go all the way to each side. There's always a space when I move them to the right or left most spots. Getting rid and turning on the quick launch toolbar also doesn't do anything. I just removes quicklaunch, but does nothing for the toolbar that is empty. And Leena, yeah it happens whether the toolbar is locked or unlocked. I just clicked unlock to try and remove it, but nothing works.
Jobber of the Week Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 Late, I know, but if you still have this problem: Right click the empty space, choose close toolbar, done. If that doesn't work, ctrl-alt-del, end all tasks called explorer.exe. Then in Task Manager go to File -> New Task (Run...) and type in explorer.exe and it will reload the desktop and taskbar.

The Amazing Rando Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Did you seriously just make a "Lock The Taskbah" joke?

The Amazing Rando Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 I'm marginally ashamed that I got the reference.
