Somehow lost my Win XP toolbar/Start button

Postby JBaymore » Wed Apr 16, 2008 11:36 pm

All of a sudden on one of my machines I have "lost" the WinXP toolbar.

I am guessing that I might have inadvertantly resized it right off the screen when I was doing something else.

How the heck do I get it back>

best,

Fire up in Safe Mode and then it'll appear and you can reset it from there John ;)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
