My BF, the IT professional, tried to work on it for me, but said there wasn't anything wrong with it, that it's just another over-rated web browser. How many icons are in your taskbar? (If you're using windows XP you may need to click the little arrow to show them all - I'm not being patronizing,

Activesync error 80180B04
It gets me visually set to do work, and has nothing at all to do with the work itself. Icewm lets me have a small taskbar with single-click icon buttons for all of my usual apps, six screens, open apps docking, two very small monitors and a very readable digital clock, all of which are nice desk accessories that

Also check msconfig, startup tab, and uncheck anything you don't want starting. Do a virus scan as well with an updated program, like AVG. 2.

Move your cursor over the edge of the taskbar until it becomes a double-headed arrow. Left click and drag down to the single height. Right click the taskbar then click Lock the Taskbar.

Me too until Monday :) apt-get seems to work for me (and I go by "if it ain't broke, leave it alone!")... I upgraded my wife's Woody++ yesterday from its mish-mash of click on dock, window list to name three offhand) ... anything else I want is either in the taskbar dock, or at most two levels down a menu.

Gnome woes....
I do find the taskbar extremely annoying myself, but I can't disable it because my main purpose for using Windows is to test web pages under the default environment Until I had to start using it regularly at work. Then I grew to really hate it, because there are so many things about it that are truly annoying.

We're talking Windows 95 without anything else. No IE, no FAT32, whatever. Again, this is subjective. I don't find them to be a poor design at all.

Do you consider it an error when you single-click on the icons on your taskbar to launch a program? No, that's the way it works. In the case of the KDE desktop, just because it "I had to put in 512MB before Windows KDE would work properly!" I doubt this, based on my own experiece with machines from 64 Mb on up.

Moans of a disaffected Mac user
Everything moves around--it's extremely hard to keep anything in one place on the dock. That's bullshit. You put your application icons on the Dock and they stay there. .... Taskbar. The taskbar is nearly useless if you're doing much work. Try opening half a dozen apps with half a dozen windows each. Yuck.
