Windows xp Taskbar settings not saved after restart

**Anilrgowda** · 08-Mar-2007, 11:15 PM

Hello Im sure this question has already being posted in here. But I am not able to search the database....

Problem:

The User would like to have his Taskbar on the left side , and the Taskbar should have 2 columns (or lines, or even raws as some call).

When the user restarts or logs off , the taskbar is kept on the left side, so its ok. BUT: just a single colummn is there . Just like the windows default setting.

I tried everything : lock/unlock, move around, disable antispy software, check to see that no harmful programs are running.
I even download a reg key from the internet restore_taskbar.reg to the default settings, but nothing happened.

Any ideas ? Any ideas which reg key is not set properly ? corrupted profile ?

Any solutions ?

It sounds like a corrupt profile. I know exactly what you mean. because I expand my task-bar as well on Windows computers.

Is the "Don't save settings at log-off" GPO setting enabled?
