Icon is Displayed on the Taskbar
When screen saver is closed, an icon titled "screen saver"
is displayed on the taskbar. If I click the icon, the icon disappears. If I start and then quit the screen saver again, a new icon that is named "screen saver" is displayed, and then the name of the icon that was displayed first becomes blank. As a result, I'll have a bunch blank icon on the taskbar. When I click on it, it disappears. But when screen saver activates again and I quit the screen saver, it starts all over again creating the blank icons. Microsoft Knowledge base article - 280722 has a solution to this problem, except I cannot find the folder "260067.inf" as stated in their resolution. I never had this problem. This problem started when I installed Norton AntiVirus. Solution Two: Disable the screen saver. I really do not want to do that. |

Will you be willing to unistall and return Norton antivirus and go with a
freeware alternative --- eg. AntiVir, AVG or Avast? An alternative is the package of firewall and antivirus that comes with the free Windows Update cd is highly reccommened by many people. I do not think Microsoft would have included this third party program if it wasn't any good. See weblink below for free cd: http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/cd/order.asp Legal Note: User assumes all responsibility of clicking web-link and realizes that they do so by their own will and by no coercion on my part.

I can't do that because our office does not allow it. I
still can't understand if Microsoft has published the article on how to fix the problem, why can't this file be found. -----Original Message----- Will you be willing to unistall and return Norton antivirus and go with a freeware alternative --- eg.

Nortons not the problem, the OP is looking for the wrong file name, typo in the
article and it is also not a folder. -- Brian A. Jack of all trades, Master of none. One can never truly be a master as there is always more to learn. "ArtWilder" wrote in message ...

The problem is not related to Norton AFAIK. The article also does not provide the
correct name of the file which is not a folder. What you want to find is 260067un.inf, right click on it and click on install. This will remove that update. For other problems on ghost buttons appearing on the taskbar: This is a response from Rick Rogers aka "Nutcase" MS-MVP, now North of the border in XP land: These "ghost" buttons are often cured by updating the video drivers. They began appearing around the release of IE5.0. Changing screensavers can often help as well. Other possibilities include: 1) The Win98SE Mapped drives Shutdown update 2) The Win98SE 1394 Storage Supplement If you have installed any of these updates and don't actually need them, you can try uninstalling them through the .inf's they placed on your system. They would be: 1) 260067un.inf 2) 242975un.inf Also, another method to try is to delete this key from the registry and reboot: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\StuckRects NOTE Please use caution when working within the registry. Changes made here are generally immediate. Making the wrong change or carelessly changing/deleting keys can render your system unbootable. If you are unsure about any change, don't do it. Before you make any changes to the registry, know how to backup and restore the current one from a command prompt. How to Manually Restore the Windows 98 Registry http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q221512 And in addition, a response by (glee) Glen Ventura MS-MVP: Some programs are just poorly-written, and a fault in the code will cause this to occur. -- Brian A.
