Why don't running programs show in my taskbar?

OMG I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA GO CRAZY WITHOUT MY TASKBAR SHOWING MY ITEMS, LOL - I DIDN'T REALISE HOW MUCH IT MATTERED, BUT HEY! YEA THANX!!!!

work perfectly... TANK'S

Hi. I am having teh same problem and went to Kelly's Korner, dowloaded the script but my pc doesn't do anything with it. It opens it and I can see the script but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong. Really appreciate your help!

U have no idea how much I'm lovin' this fix. Thank u thank u thank u. U F@#$ing ROCK! And Kelly too.

When i turned on my pc today i was wondering what happened to the running programs in the taskbar?! i googled it and i found this site im SO THANKFUL that i did thanks so much for making this tweak and providing a link to it.

Thank you soooooooooooo much! We tried everything to fix this. It's good to know we are not the only ones out there with problem too.

Ouch...my Tablet PC running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition started showing the same symptoms...but after downloading the patch via laptop, and transfer to tablet, the fix worked perfectly after some readjustment of the start bar. Thank you very much! It was a pain using a TABLET with no keyboard and no minimized program list. Thanks!

This was exactly what I was looking for. It worked and was very easy. Thank you so much!

What can, I say?? You people are life savers, went into panic mode for 30 minutes before it hit me to google it.

All is well with the world once again (well, not everything but hey, things are now "restored")

Thanks again

Thank you. I was going nuts trying to find this. The patch worked a treat.

I am getting an error after I have opened the file. I am not sure why I am getting the error, but if you can help me out on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

LP

i realy salute people like u who help the need ful people and i wish i could have meet with u

Advanced computer user with a very heavily configured and doctored XP Media Centre Edition being tearing my follically challenged scalp out for the last 24hours, thanking you so much your a bunch of "diamond geezers and geezerettes" cheers!!!

Hi, kelly's webpage really helps a lot of friends. But at the page itself it wrote
"NOTE: If your anti-virus software warns you of a "malicious" script, this is normal if you have "Script Safe" or similar technology enabled. These scripts are not malicious, but they do make changes to the System Registry.
"

When the script start running, the norton anti-virus prompt me that it is malicious and it is high risk. So shall i contiune running the script? Anyone had this problem too?

Thankyou for the help re my running programmes disappear from task bar the result worked straight away. So ones again very much thankyou. Now if you could just fix my washer like that!!!

I went to Kellys Korner for the answer, but my Anti-Virus would not let me in. Gave me a HIGH ALert. Don't know why.

after i download the patch, it says that in order to work properly the script will close and restart is this ok. if i click ok, it disapears and nothing happens....
my taskbar still isnt working, even after restarting it myself...

Leo:
Thanks, I was going insane, but after using the “tweaks page” as per your recommendation, it restored my task bar in fewer than 10 seconds. Thanks again

Thanks so much for the patch! I was having so much trouble with it and now it is fixed thnks to it.
If I didn't decide to google it I probably would have hoped that eventually it would fix itself.

Better hope Microsoft finds out about this problem because I know this regularly occurs on many people's computers.

Oh man, I can't believe it was that easy... I've been going INSANE for the past two days trying to figure out how to get the programs to reappear on the taskbar, and all it took was a 2kb program! I think Kelly's Korner is perhaps the best site in the world... thank you SOOOO MUCH!

Ive tried to use the fix #240 but it keeps giving me an error, permission denied:'getobject' code: 800A0046 Source: microsoft vbscript runtime error

please help

omigod...I've been without my task buttons for a good six months...I've been searching everywhere on my compy and one little download saved me! Thank you so much!!

I tried running 240 script, it says permission denied getobject.
What shall i do.

THANKS thanks so much...my running ptograms werent showing..and then..the tweeks page kinda worked magic on them.
Very very helpfull site Leo.

Greetings from the dominican republic.

Thanks again

dude. thanks a lot!

SWEEET! it worked. i was worried for a moment that this wasn't going to do it. not real familiar with this site and didnt know it it was going to crash my computer or not but i gave it a try and it is lagit! if you are experiencing these problems, follow the steps and you are sure to be satisfied!!

thanks a million it worked like a charm straight away, thanks again

My god...It was less than 10 seconds that I saw my disappered windows on the taskbar reappered in front of my eyes!! Thank you so much all the genious who made my pain away..Thanks to Kelly's corner and Leo.com!

WHWOHWHWOWHHWHOHWH!!! thank you very much!!! thank you very much!!! it is back to normal already!!!!

Wow! That was so easy! I desperately tried almost everything till I got an idea of typing my problem @ Google; your site was on the top of the list and you are really on the top along with Mr. Kellys-Korner... thank you very much for your help indeed it was great!

Regards

I don't know how I lost them, but I got them back. Thanks for providing a solution. It worked like a charm.

I got the same problem so I was brought to this site thru googling.
The script didn't work in my computer and I couldn't figure out why.
There was no instruction too in Kelly's corner on how to make them work if, after double-clickinig the script, a pop-up notification would read "THERE IS NO SCRIPT ENGINE FOR FILE EXTENSION ".VBS."
I envied those guys who made positive comments about the tweek. I again did the googling thing and learned that if the *.vbs won't work, we have to rename the file exntension from *.vbs to *.vbe.
And WOW!!! The problem has been fixed! And to those who are about to encounter the same problem about the tweek, hope this post would help!

Finally, A BIG THANKS to you Leo, and of course, to Kelly's corner. You guys are among the "HEROES in the web." I will surely recommend your sites and bookmark them. Again, thanks and regards!!!

Thanks Leo, I have the same problem - my running programs disappear from taskbar. But only at 1 profile on my PC. That happens, after instalation SP3 of WinOnCD6 PowerPack burning program by Roxio and simultanous updating burning program Nero 7 Premium programs to the version 7.0.8.2. But your advice is excelent and does work well. Thank you very much :-)
Unfortunately Microsoft was not able tell me why that accident happens, but I guess that there was some conflict between some drivers need for burning ...

How do i get my goole to show up on my taskbar. I had google search on my ols computer i installed it again on my new computer but google didnt come up on my task bar. I like it there because all i had to do was click on it and i could began my search Thanks

Dude, cheers for that

saved me hours of reg changes hehe

I owe u one!

Regards
milo

THANK YOU SO MUCH...i was about to freak out. >.<

Thanks heaps! Worked a treat

I had the same problem. The solution was incredibly easy, fast, and worked perfectly for me. Thanks and blessings.

Super, this worked very very good, many thanks

It works fine for me right now.
Thank you for the solution mate !

Thanks so much, Leo, for this fix! Unfortunately, the folks at Microsoft should realize that when you allow the other parts of the taskbar to be resized at will that there's a way for people and programs to inadvertantly make their "running programs" section of the taskbar effectively a size of zero. Simply making this yet another toolbar and treating it like all the rest of them (ie you can turn it on or off with a menu click) would seem to me to be a more simple and straightforward design than requiring an obscure registry tweak to fix it. Nonetheless you and Kelly have come forth with a quick and easy way to make the change, though finding it took me considerably longer!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I thought I was a goner.
I was just completely going NUTS about my running programs disappearing.
Thank you again!!!

ON MY TASK BAR THE PROGRAMS DO NOT SHOW. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? I ACCIDENTLY DID SOMETHING NOW THE ONLY WAY TO CHECK WHAT I AM RUNNING IS BY, WINDOWS TAKS MANAGER. please can someone let me know how to fix this problem. REPLY ASAP

The solution works!
My problem is solved. Thank you so much!!!
But I am still intereted to know why this problem happended. Hope someone could answer me. Thanks!

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My computer works now!!!!!!

Thanks!

THank you soooooo much. It feels much like wearing someone else's underwear when your computer doesn't work the right way. It was feeling terribly uncomfortable.

You dont now how much this helped me. Thanks and this is a great website. Its much quicker than the windows helpline and easier to understand.
P.S Thanks alot :D

thanks a lot...
during this two days i was the angriest person here.. because of my tasbar problem.. even, i couldn't work properly....
thanks a lot...

Thanks a lot for this "quick and dirty" help. I was seeing myself already browsing the registry for any clue...
Not seeing your tasks can make you feel as helpless as if you were using Win3.11 again :-)
Once more: THANK YOU, and of course Kelly...

Thanks for pointing me out to Kelly's website. The solution recommended there really works!

Without your help, I wouldn't be able to locate the solution. Thank you very much, Leo.

Thanks man it was helpful, stupid taskbar problems :-p

Man, you're the best. It fixed my problem.

I had the same problem and I downloaded teh VBS file but it didn't do anything it shows an error message with the following data:
Line:4
Character:1
Error:Can't create object "WScript.Shell".
code:80040154

Thanks a lot!!!!

Wow! It really debugged my problem! I do thank you very much!

Thank you soooooooooooo much! I tried everything to fix this but i couldnt solve it. but when i saw ur site i was exited. Thanx.

Thanx for that. I don't have a clue why the programs just didn't show. You saved the day Leo and Kelly

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
MY DAD WOULD HAVE KILLED ME IF I'D BROKEN IT
YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!!

thanks a trilliooooooooooooon!!!! i've been everywhere and almost going nut with this problem. it's simply amazing. thank you so muccccccccccccch for this leo and kelly.

Thanks so much for this. The problem was driving me crazy!

#240 item was a miracle!!!! Tnax for all your help. You are an angel

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! I TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING WORKED... THIS WORKED IMMEDIATELY... AGAIN... THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I'd been living with the annoyance of missing buttons to switch between open files in the task bar of my Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition 2002 system. After a few months, #240 solved the problem in seconds. Thank you so much!

I am so grateful for your page!! I've been hit with this problem twice in 1 week! First, when I was trouble-shooting my aunt's laptop a few days ago, at the end, due to some worm I couldn't remove using all the resources I found via google, I had to format the harddrive to start over. Then TODAY, I am hit with the exact same annoying problem on my own PC! I tried all the task bar setting to no avail. Google saved me this time by showing your page in the results! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ^_^!

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSS. This a major problem for me that I could not solved. I've tried a lot of different things without success. It was driving crazy and the only way I could go in the opened application was with the ALT + TAB. THANKS AGAIN , I will go back to an efficient work on my office laptop. LEO and KELLY your are great !!

Thanks for the help

i am trying to install a game for my granchild kitty care pc cd-rom software and it tells me it is unable to initialize video mode. please i do not understand this? can you help

thankk you very muuchh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn´t know what to do to get my task bar back!!

i did it but it dose not open

Thanks a lot for this.
I am able to see the application icons in the task bar. Kelly's Korner is a treasure trove of helpful information.

Thank you so much, Leo and Kelly! It worked wonderfully.

Thank you very much. I thought i would have to reload windows until i found this site :)

quick launch icons will not stay locked, after reboot taskbar is blank tried lots of fixes but to no avail.The right side tray is fine clock progs etc this is just quick launch I have to manually unlock enable quick launch then lock every time.

One of our computers at work had this problem. The employees would just keep launching programs (not knowing that they were already running - as they don't appear in the taskbar). I'd hit Alt-Tab to see dozens of applications open. You're solution at Kelly's Korner fixed it all though.
(I think the problem might be caused by a google or yahoo toolbar conflict - Both toolbars were installed on the computer and one tried inserting a search field in the task menu. You can't really tell it's there until you tweak the toolbar a bit).
Anyway, no worries now,
Thanks much

Excellent! It works!
Thank you Leo!

Daniel

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaankkkkksssss a loooooot you are the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

did not work for me, tried it twice. running XP media.

omg thanks so much! i thought i'd have to live with this forever. your tweak worked perfectly! u guys are so great!!!

this got my buttons back. ty

oh my god! yay thank for ur tips it help me i see my buttons now
thank

you are great leo.thanks

For those who get an error when running the progra, I had the same thing happen to me. I looked elsewhere and this worked in the end:

"Here is a way to do it:
1. Save registry file (http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/restoretaskbar.reg)
2. Double click on the saved file. It will ask you if you want to enter this information to the registry. DO NOT CLICK OK YET. Leave it there.
3. Kill explorer.exe. To do it open the task manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL) and on the processes tab, click on explorer.exe and then click the button "end process"
4. Now that the desktop icons and the taskbar disappears, click the ok button for the registry
5. From the task manager, click menu file->new task, and enter "explorer.exe" and ok."

Thanks soooooo much!!!! This problem had been haunting me for more than a month. It is gone now!!! Thnx so much!!!!

I had the problem where tasks would disappear from the taskbar, but still appear in the Alt-TAB list. The tweak doesn't work for me, and all it does is reset my taskbar + quicklaunch settings, so I have to go through and reconfigure them again. User beware!

thanks so much, i just come back from hk this morning, when i back to my room, i turn on the computer, and i realised that those running programmes do not show on the task bar; i was so worry about that, but now all solved...thanks sooooo much!!!!!!

you are the best. I searched "running programs on taskbar has gone away" on google, your solution was the 1st output from the search and it did work. :-)

Awesome! I downloaded the program and it worked instantly. Thanks for saving me time and aggravation.
Jim

Thanks so much!!!
Finally I got my taskbar working properly

Thanks a lot, Leo.

THANKYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!

best regards..

I surfed "tons" of german sites for three weeks. No one could help. Ask-Leo and Kellys-Corner offered quick and efficient help within 30 seconds. God bless you all with anything you desire, while I wish you to continue being at help where others are at desperation.

Thanks a lot. After running the script from
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
it resetted the bar. Man my sister kept blaming I stuffed her PC. Thanks Leo.

Another member of the global community singing praises of #240! Thank you so much!

Hi,

i m trying to access the tweaks page @ Kelly's Korner but to no avail. pls help.

Cheers
Stefan

the program isn't working, an error message pops up saying
(could not locate automation class named "WScript.shell")

please help me!!!

if you are having problems with accessing the tweaks page, try opening the link in new window (right click on "Tweaks" and select "Open Link in New Window".
It worked for me, hope it works for you :)

Spent all morning trying to get the program tabs to reappear on the XP task bar, to no avail. Microsoft's site completely, utterly, totally and 100% useless, as always.

As recommended by Leo, Kelly's Korner Tweak #240 solved the problem in 20 seconds flat, and that includes downloading the file. Fantastic! Many thanks for the heads up.

Phew, it worked many thanks..

Better: Task Bar Repair Tool Plus at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm

Dude. How. Did. You. Do. That. It worked in like 5 seconds! Thanks!!!

Leo, you're the MAN! Open & Minimized windows weren't showing on my taskbar, and thanks to your site, I got the link to Kellys tweak #240, everything back to normal. Thank you Sir!

great!! solved the problem in a few seconds! I'm bookmarking this page.tks a mil

Blink of an eye. Amazing! Thanks, Leo, Kelly!

At first I was skeptical, sounded like a virus or something, but heck, Instant fix. Thanks!

OMG!!!!!!!I've been trying for weeks and to no avail. I even contacted my company's "HELP" desk and nothing....Thank u!!!Thank u!!!

Thank you so much! I now have my icons back! I lost my taskbar icons shortly after running superantispyware. Could that have had anything to do with it? Is that a good program to use??

Thank you. My taskbar wasn't showing the buttons for the open/minimized windows. Running above script solved the problem. Thanks.

OMG!! This is good! Thanx for this!

Brilliant Leo, spent hours trying to fix it and your instructions had it fixed in seconds..Many Thanx

great! its solve my problem that cracking my head.
thanks

Oh my God, Leo! such a simple solution--well, simple now that its solved. Thank you so much for your website, and the connection to the solution site. I think I love you!!!! (smile)

Hello - I went to Kelly's corner, but I couldn't see the tweaks page because of a compression problem. I'm not sure what to do now - any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Greetings! I have the same problem: Running programs not appearing in the task bar. Trouble is this thing is still running on Windows ME and your "fix" is for XP. I hope there is still hope for this old computer of mine. Thanks!

Thank you so much, god knows why computers decide to change things when you dont ask them too!

Problem Solved.

thanks! my taskbar had disappeared a while ago and it was so frustrating, ah ha!

Thank you SOO much!!
My taskbar has been failing me for over a year now!
I looked for a solution when it broke down, but I couldn't fine one, and just decided to get used to my problem. If only I had found this webpage then!!

Thank heavens that worked. So easy!!

LEO, Thanx a lot! After a week of painful ALT+TABs my taskbar is back!!!! U R D king!
L

Leo, awesome advice. I'm stumped as to why this isn't working when it hasn't in the past. Only one program doesn't minimize to the taskbar - WordPerfect. IF I Alt-Tab it once I can minimize and recover thereafter. I downloaded and ran the tool but it didn't help. Any other ideas?

Thanks for years of great great advice!

WORKS PERFECTLY, have no idea why this happens. Thanks.

Thank you so much for your solution! It worked. My problem solved. But, it erase the Microsoft Office shortcut bar in the upper side of the screen. And I must reconfigure it in Microsoft Office Setting program.

Oh,yeah, before I forgot, for NATE who posted about Kelly's corner tweak page and encountered with "a compression problem". I have the solution. This problem occurred when your browser unable to extract some compressed sites. Mozilla Firefox and Netscape have this problem. The solution is change your browser! To Opera or Internet Explorer which both support extraction process, and reenter the site. I hope this info useful.

Man, I hate windows but still dont have the same resources in Linux and a good Mac its way too expensive for me....

Thanks God there is blogs like yours to help dummy programmer like me to fix this trash windows sys.

Thanks alot!

Thanks Leo, the fix of registry worked very well.
I am glad that I cam by your useful page.
Thanks again :)

I ran the script and it worked fine until I rebooted the computer and the taskbar goes back to the same. I re-run the script and all is well. Somehow the settings are getting changed when I reboot. What is happening?
azscorp

This is not working for me. They show up for like half a second after I run the script and then are gone again. Anybody have any suggestions?

I have the same problem. Does this tweak also work with Vista?

Regards
