| Guest | Re: minimizing windows Julsie, I think you should try a System Restore and go back to a point just before your problem began. Also and I can't stress this enough, STAY away from any Registry Cleaners. They absolutely do way more hard than good. You will see some swear by them, but I assure you even if you use one and you're luckily enough not to do any harm they still do not speed up your system as many think. -- All the best, SG ALEX NICHOL (1935-2005) http://www.aumha.org/alex.htm You will never be forgotten my friend "Julsie" <Julsie@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0D215D88-5FC3-404A-A122-551C559135B1@xxxxxx Quote: >I installed a few which i removed completely, but i am not absolutely sure > when the problem began. i have run registry cleaner [Utilities 2008]. > Note the problem is only on minimize.

| Guest | Re: minimizing windows I need to apologise to everyone. After restoring all my Registry clean ups and scratching my head and looking through every sitting on my computer I discovered that I had installed the programme called "rocket dock" which is very useful, but I have checked the setting to minimise everything to the "dock ". Immediately that I removed the setting all my windows again minimise to the taskbar where they belong. I thank everyone for responding and apologise (as often as I do) again for my stupidity. I live and learn every day even that the age of 77 :-) "SG" wrote: Quote: > Julsie, > > I think you should try a System Restore and go back to a point just before > your problem began.

| Guest | Re: minimizing windows Unfortunately yes 3 years ago. Although I never got to meet him in person, we worked together on DOS for WindowsME and spent many many hours on that. Became good friends and stayed in touch via Email. He was indeed a gentle giant and really knew his stuff when it came to computers and software. Sure miss him, but will for sure see him on the other side. Wonder what version of Windows he is using?
