| | | | I ran an .exe file in order to remove that little blue line at the bottom
that is supposedly a "hidden" taskbar, and now I can't seem to undo it.
When I load windows the taskbar is there, but without the clock and the
system tray icon'd programs. Then I run the hidetaskbar.exe and it goes away
completely which is great, but how do I access the system tray programs?
In particular, I'm having trouble with Trillian (a chat client that controls
aim, icq, yahoo, msn all at once). When it starts up it goes immediately to
the system tray, so it has been rendered completely inaccessible to me. I
can't alt+tab to it, I can't switch to it in the processes window, I can't
even access it's options to change it so that it doesn't minimize to the
system tray on startup. =\ ugh.
I can't remember the website I got the file from, and I don't even know if
they have an undo version. Please help

Hi Joe,
Have you tried using System Restore yet? Pick a day that pre-dates the
software you ran. That'd be the simplest solution.

Hi Joe,
Do you have a link to what you used so we can better determine what you
should use to remedy the problem?
It sounds like you need to use the "Show" option in this tutorial to
see if it will bring them back.

You might also take a look at this tutorial to see if it applies to you
as well.

I have made a lot ofchanges since then that I don't want to lose, so system
restore is a last resort.

Are you sure I should try this with XP? Says vista all over it.

Rick didn't mean putting in your restore discs.
System Restore is a Windows tool to turn the clock back when something
gets fouled up in your system settings.
Type SYSTEM RESTORE into Help and Support.
Read "what is system restore"... there is a link there to take you to
it.
Try restoring to a point in time before your trouble began

You posted your question in a Vista group, so it was assumed you have Vista
installed as you did not state otherwise. There are several XP groups
available, and the advice there may be different. You might try MVP Kelly's
