IE6 on XP Pro

[Podie]

Bloody thing.

Running IE6 on XP Pro... and have 2 issues...

1) I have the taskbar double height... yet every time I log on, it goes back to the default setting

2) The status bar on the bottom of IE6 has buggered off... (the bit with the progress bar, and security padlock etc etc)


Any suggestions on how to resolve these... otherwise a Dell Inspiron could well be departing the building via a window...

Yay! Cheers guys..!

Laptop's not safe yet though... so onto the taskbar issue...

Tried setting it, and then locking it... but still goes back to default settings...

How do you set it? I run XP but cannot drag it around the screen like on 95/98/2000 or resize it using the mouse.

How are you locking the taskbar

1,right click on taskbar clicking on "lock taskbar"

2,right click on start button, click "lock taskbar" click on "apply"

If your doing 1 try 2 if 2 im stuffedat the mo

To clarify. The taskbar at the bottom of the screen is normally a set height. I prefer to double the size of the taskbar.

This has been acheived in previous versions of Windows by clicking the top of it, and dragging it up.

In XP, you right click on the taskbar... UNCHECK the "unlock taskbar" option... drag the taskbar up (as above) and then "lock taskbar" again.

Now, IF I lock the taskbar, or leave it unlocked, it ALWAYS defaults to the normal (single) height...

The status bar thing is a real bugger. You'll find that new windows start up without one. It's a "known issue", apparantly. Don't you just love being part of Microsoft's Beta Test team?

Sounds like a case of downloading SP1...
