It appears DesktopX has permanently made my windows start bar disappear (I'm using winXP home). It appears briefly on bootup and then disappears (although I can make it reappear by changing any of the taskbar options under the windows control panel)
I've tried several things to get it back such as:
1. (the obvious) turning off the 'hide windows taskbar' option in object desktop. Turning this on and off again will make the taskbar appear, but it again disappears on bootup (and yes, I saved the object desktop theme after making these changes)
2. Uninstalling desktopx, windowblinds, windowFX, and other stardock programs via stardock central. Still, the taskbar disappears on bootup.
3. Running Norton windoctor to check for registry errors.
In the interim, I've been using objectbar as a replacement, but I'd rather use the standard XP task bar. I can again make the windows taskbar appear by turning on and off the 'hide windows taskbar' option in objectbar, but again it's only temporary. Is there a registry setting somewhere that I can edit to force the windows task bar not to turn off?
Thanks for any help,
