Any body knows why when program is minimized it disappears and does not show on the botton of screen ?

Question

I noticed when I minimize any software running on the computer, it does not show at the below part of screen, rather it disappears and Whenever I have to use them again I have to toggle between Tab and Alt Keys . A little time taking and frostrating . I wonder if anybody had encountered auch a problem and How did you seek help ! Have done something not knowing this would happen !?

Answer 1

Is it because your taskbar is not displayed at all???

The taskbar can be resized so small that it only shows up as a line on the bottom of the screen.  Try clicking and draggin the line up to normal size.

Answer 2

Or, if you happen to have a wheel optical mouse, click on the wheel. It should launch the "instant viewer", which displays all your open applications in small tiles across your desktop.

You can choose one by merely clicking on it. The others then disappear. Or you can make them all disappear by just clicking the wheel again.

Answer 3

is the 'start' bar along the bottom visible at all? if not, move your cursor to the very bottom of the screen until the cursor becomes the little changing-size arrow and hold it down to pull the start bar back up. otherwise i do not know what you can do. sorry i can't be more help =]

Answer 4

Hi, i would suggest that you unlock the task bar, then drag it upwards, you will find the minimized windows on it. Then again resize the task bar, u will be able to see the minimized tasks as were seen earlier!!
