Taskbar Info gone

[Topha]

My taskbar (WinXP) does not show me those little program symbols right next to the clock.

I do not have the option enabled that hides the inactive symbols.

Its a real bother, because I dont know whether im connected to the internet, or wheter my AV program, firewall etc. are active.

Anyone know how that happens and what to do against it?

I've seen it happen when explorer crashes.

I know, but I cant see them at all, not even right after restarting windows

You can try this, http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs..._pastitems.vbs

Download and run it, then either kill explorer and restart it, or just reboot.

I know that happens and ive seen it happen. what was bothering me was that windows wouldnt even display the items after several restarts, and that I could not check the option to hide non used items in the taskbar settings.
