| taskbar - too many sections A taskbar typically has four sections: start | quick launch | currently open | system tray Sometimes, mine has more than one "currently open" sections. I can close all of them but two, essentially having an extra "currently open" section occupying the precious real estate. Why does this happen and how to cure the problem? Thanks. This is on an IBM Thinkpad.      |
