Hmm, baby pictures. I bet you were a cute baby! (I know you're going to show me them sooner or later...) B

That would be a very good way to put it...lol And just for old times sakes and for this post.. I'm right now playing this: * @Jeff np: N'SYNC - It's Gonna Be Me [03:15m/160Kbps/44KHz] /me dies laughing... B

You better read this Liz... I didn't post it for nothing! Ok.... This is really embarassing. Oh man, I can't believe I'm going to tell this... Ok, here goes... *deep breath* Well, we all know/knew N'SYNC the popular boy band. When they first came out I was probably (lets see) 12? and my brothers were probably 9? Maybe younger... Anyway, my brothers and I were fans of them, so we had their CD's and stuff, etc.. Well when they did that HBO show, we recorded it. So basically we had the whole show on tape. Then my brothers and I watched it god knows how many times...lol.. and we me

Lets hear it Mac!!! Thanks love! (mandy) Liz, robroy, and echobay! Glad you liked my rant. B

Matt, that's good!! Hmm, lets see what do I have... <rant> Drugs. Illegal drugs. Prescription drugs. We have all kinds of drugs! Now, we have drugs for just about anything here in the USA. I mean anything. You ever see those commercials where it's basically like "Do you go to bed at night and wake up in the morning?!" We all know, there is that someone who goes "OMG I HAVE THAT!! I NEED THAT PILL!" Us Americans are now relying on the "quick fix" for everything. I mean, even doctors who have gone to medical school are prescribing anti-biotics for viral infections, even though

Ok, thanks to our resident Windows Guru Dave (Chappy) we got it figured out. Apparently, there is a set amount of time something like 15 mins that the icons must be inactive for it to hide them. However, if you set it to always hide, it will hide them automatically. Though now, I will be looking for the registry setting where the time is kept, so I can make it less. B

Nope, still nothing I added a few more so I would have 7. That should be enough. I'll leave it enabled for a few days and see if it shows up. B

Hmm, ok, I enabled the theme service and still nothing. I know this may seem weird, but maybe I don't have enough icons in the taskbar? I'll add some and then post results. B

I highly doubt a defrag will do anything for this problem. It's just weird. It doesn't really bother me, just was wondering if anyone else experienced it. I'm going to enable the theme service and try. I'll post back with those results. B

Yep, I rebooted. Still nothing. Weird. B

Hey Matt, I checked that, all are set to "Hide when inactive" This is just strange. B

Hey Everyone, Well, today, I experienced something which seemed to be some kind of "bug" in Windows XP. I like to disable the themes service on my XP machines, then today I decided to have my taskbar hide inactive icons. So I right-click the taskbar, choose properties, and tick "Hide inactive icons" Apply/Ok, but it doesn't hide them. It still looks like the normal taskbar. I usually have around 3-5 icons in the taskbar at any given time. I figured I would hide a few, but it still won't. They aren't set to always show, so that's not it. I'm running Windows XP SP2. Anyone else having th

Awesome deal!! Thanks Matt! B
