Fix Taskbar, Quick Launch and Notification Area Problems
Author: Raymond30 Jul
In Windows, the default location for the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen, and from left to right it contains by default the Start menu, Quick Launch bar, taskbar buttons and notification area/system tray.
There are tons of problems can happen on your taskbar. Some of it are taskbar gone missing, programs minimized are missing or not displaying on taskbar and etc… I found a free tool called Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! that allows you to repair and customize the Quick Launch, Taskbar and Notification Area in Windows XP.
As you can see the program interface, it’s a no brainer. Just run the tool, select the problems and a big Repair button will appear. Clicking on the Repair button will fix the problem mentioned. There is also a description of the problem so you know what you’re repairing.

Those with asterisk(*) can only be used if you license the tool for $5 but shockingly there are crack that will enable the limited functions. I find it hard to believe that cracker actually took the time to crack this $5 program. If you need to use Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! to fix your taskbar problems, the author definitely deserves it.

My Windows XP only shows (by default) three programs on the taskbar. Anyone know how I can display all the quick launch program icons? What I see after the three default icons are to small arrows (which I cannot slide over). – EMAIL ME
Firstly unlock the taskbar by right clicking on the time in the bottom right corner of windows. Then re-size the taskbar then lock the taskbar again. :-]
im currently using windows vista on my laptop and somehow ever since i created a new user account the battery and internet icons do not display in the notification area, can anyone help me fix this.
thanks i advanced
I finally fixed my notification area problem which was bugging me for quite some time. I\’ve seen this tool when when i was searching for a cure but coming from somebody that already tried it and recommend it gives me the go. Thank you Raymond, more power.
hi, my problem with the taskbar is that its stuck in classic mode. This is unlikely a settings problem as i\’ve surfed over 5 hours and still not found a solution that works. The option in this tool is locked and i don\’t want to pay the fee for a problem that is likely caused by malware.
The reason people crack this is because it is in fact impossible to legally pay the person – even if they have the money.
Still, this program should be free IMHO.
mmm i ve the problem with the taskbar!! and i tried to use that program but it says “in order to see these changes the window shell must be restarted. this is not a reboot or log off, and will take only few seconds. would u like to continue?”
when i press yes nothing happens! and i ve turn off my computer and nothing changed!!! i still have this problem!! and my star doen t work on the keyword, and even my mouse, when i click on the right botton nothing appear (u know, properties or open new folder bla bla bla) what should i do?? i really need help and i m not good with computer!!! if anybody is able to enter in it by msn or just help me indicating me exactly step bu step what i ve to do i ll be so gratefull!!!!
I have the same problem. Nothing seems to work. I’ve tried every scan fix and hack, I think it’s something with my registry but I don’t know where to find a fix. I was told it might be StuckRects but that file isn’t present. PLEASE HELP. Otherwise I plan on reinstalling windows!
thanks so much for this great tip, I have suffered from a broken toolbar for weeks and now it was fixed in seconds! Wonderful!
Thanks so much, u help me out on one of ma biggest prob. The taskbar repair tool is gr8!I have been searching for a cure and finally come across ur lil software… cheers!!!
It does work on Vista because it worked on my Vista.
We really need a copy for Vista!! I’m not willing to risk running it on clients’ computers when support says it doesn’t work for Vista… but I have a client who has a Vista Quick Launch toolbar that never seems to work right… I’d love to have something this simple to fix his QL problems!
