The merits of open source software...as argued by others

[onefixedstar]

I spent a good chunk of time last weekend creating a new XP profile for myself to fix my task bar. And it worked...for just over a week. It's no longer working. I am not impressed.

A missing menu bar is the main problem, followed by the mysterious self-replicating ability of the language toolbar (I'll have three or four copies of it running every time I start up). Thanks for the heads up on the "save system resources mode." I've encountered it before when I couldn't view the source code for websites, but I never made the connection between that and problems with the taskbar. I'll take your advice and see what happens.

Source code for websites

Yes, not being able to view source of websites happens when your Temporary Internet Files folder exceeds 2GB. (I had this problem as well, a couple months ago.)

Older versions of Windows automatically cleaned out these directories, but XP doesn't, hence the problems.

Glad I could help!
