Ok, so I just cleaned a nasty virus from my system and I'm pretty sure it's gone, but there is one really odd thing that happened after I rebooted clean this last time.
For some strange reason, my taskbar at the bottom of the screen has doubled active windows.
For example, if I have a window open for C:\ (just as an example), the taskbar shows this in two different areas.
Because both are being treated as a "main area", which bears no name, they cannot be closed. I have closed every singly taskbar that I have and the problem persists.
I have unlocked the taskbar and tried moving them about, but this just increases the size of the taskbar and that's just plain dumb.
I don't know how it occurred, or how to properly describe it, and I certainly don't know how to fix it.
Any gurus out there know anything about this?
I seem to recall that this has happened before to me, but I was able to fiddle and it went away. A reboot might have helped on earlier occasions too. Not this time.
It's exasperating in the extreme. |
