A really stupid question - I have acquired a "shadow"
taskbar without icons, behind the active one on my
desktop. I am using Windows XP and I have tried to get
rid of it with no luck and it's driving me mad! Any ideas
as to how to get rid of it? I am the only user with this
problem on our computer.
Cheers, Tina
 
Could be spyware, try SpyBot Search & Destroy from

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence here, but there is one other
thing that occurs to me. Right-click the normal taskbar and see if "Lock the
Taskbar" is on. If it's NOT on, then the taskbar does gain an extra ridge -
the resizing bar. If you move your mouse over this ridge, does it change to
double-headed arrow? If so, you've nothing to worry about.

Of course, this may not be the case. Try right-clicking the normal taskbar
and selecting Properties, then make sure "Auto-hide the taskbar" is on. OK
it. Click on the desktop, and the bar should disappear. Do you still see the
other bar there? (You can return that option to what it was before now,
unless you like it.)
