Taskbar not refreshing properly
This is a discussion about Taskbar not refreshing properly in the Customization Tweaking category; Can someone tell me why when I close an application, it's button goes from the taskbar, but a space is left in its place. Usually when you close a program the other buttons on the taskbar resize themselves to fill the gap left by the closed program, and thus make the most efficient use of taskbar space.

Usually when you close a program the other buttons on the taskbar resize themselves to fill the gap left by the closed program, and thus make the most efficient use of taskbar space. However im forever left with a gap at the right most edge of the taskbar (before the system tray).
The only way I've found round this is to resize the taskbar to double size, and then shrink it again, and it resizes its buttons properly.
Anyone any ideas on how to correct this bug?

i remember seeing this before, never since i upgraded to xp though.
in any case, check if u have installed any explorer plugins, like extra taskbar toolbars and such. also you can track what plugins .dlls are being loaded by explorer using a tool like Process Explorer from sysinternals.com
