  2. show desktop button keeps expanding and contracting

    I recently bought a HP laptop and am currently personalising it. I have noticed however that the show desktop button at the right end of the taskbar has started expanding from the thin line at the edge of the screen to about an inch wide then jumping back
    again. In the process the other icons get pushed along the taskbar and back again. All the buttons seem to still work but it is annoying to watch. This only started yesterday so perhaps I clicked a wrong thing somewhere. Anybody got any ideas on how to get
    the toolbar back to normal?

    thanks

    Show desktop button failing

    If you rt click the tasbar, does clicking 'Show Desktop' work?

    How about Win key + d?

    Make sure this is on:

    One source suggests this to reregister the dll
    regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

    Otherwise, as you say it's not working any more, do you have either
    - a system restore point
    - a disk image
    you created before this happened?
