Hi,

I would like to know how to re-activate or make the auto
hide inactive button re-appear on the taskbar. I have set
the hide inactive icons property to the default value, but
still could not get that button or function back.

Thanks.

Anthony
 
Hi,

Start > Settings > "Taskbar and Start Menu"

Uncheck box for "Hide inactive icons" and click OK.
 
Hi Anthony,

Sorry for my miss understanding on your post
earliey as I miss read the words.

It's simple, you can examine them by "check"
(to activate auto-hide) or "uncheck" (to deactivate
auto-hide) the box as I mention earlier.

Good luck!

Krappo.
 
I see, sorry for the unconvinient. Sounds like
you need to troubleshooting your windows.

Please follow this url:

Look for:-

"Hide or Show Inactive Icons - Notification Area"
to download "enabledisabletray.vbs" files.

I hope this could settled down our windows problem.

Krappo.
 
Hi Anthony,

For some users, setting the very first icon to Always Hide, restores the
arrow/chevron. Note: It does take time for it to become effective.

Icons are missing or disappear, reappear: This happens for most Auto-Logon
users.

Methods/workarounds: Log off and Log back on, password protect your account
or disable SSDP and uPNP Services.

Or if you are running XP SP1 uninstall UPnP from Add/Remove Windows
Components.
