Duplicate Toolbar

My main toolbar (which shows running programs) has managed to duplicate
itself. Therefore, I have two toolbars which simultaneously show the same
running programs. I have right-clicked to uncheck toolbars, but the only
toolbar shown is quick launch. What can I do?

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,

Repair the Taskbar manually. See David's post here:

-or-

Line 164. Restore Taskbar to Default Functionality
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Note: You'll lose all the existing Taskbar settings, and the additional
toolbars that you may've added earlier.

Thanks! I used the Line 164 from Kelly's site. It worked perfectly.

This is an issue not covered well in any Windows Support info. Sometimes
reboots and installations just seem to cause extra toolbars in XP.

To delete a toolbar it is not necessary to play with the registry. Just do
as follows:
1) Right click in any unclutered area of the taskbar and uncheck Lock the
Taskbar.
2) You'll then see each each of your toolbars separated by a very small
vertical column of dots. Move to each extra toolbar you no longer want,
right click within it and choose Close Toolbar at the top of the menu.

To create a new toolbar, right click in an unclutered area of the taskbar
and select Toolbars>New Toolbar.

Seriously... You reply to a message that was not intended for you like it
was intended for you, whine and complain about the answer like it was to
*your* question *AND* ignore the fact it is from April 2006 with one
response (the one you are replying to) from December 2007 (welcome to March,
2010...)

The conversation, archived:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support/browse_frm/thread/294d5ae763ec9852/

So - how about you actually post about your problem with some specifics?

Give the exact OS, the service pack level, the Internet Explorer version,
the video card and software installed and describe your issue in detail
instead of just depending on 3-4 year old postings that may/may not describe
*YOUR* issue accurately at all...
