I searched for this! Honest, I couldn't find it.

Anyhoo, here's the deal. After waking up from hibernation, my task bar is gone. This only started after installing SP2.

HE'P!

Thanks very much,

David
 
if you're using a desktop pc disable hibernation.

if its a laptop its debatable whether its usefull so you could probably disable it there too.

However in the eventuallity you dont want to do that you could try this reg file:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"SystemTray"="SysTray.Exe"

import that and reboot, hibernate and wake up and see if its still missing. if it is the only other work around I can think of would be to hit ctrl+shift+esc to get task manager up, kill all instances of explorer.exe in the process list, then file > new task and type explorer.exe in that box.

and wait for someone else to come up with a solution 😀
 
Thanks. I'll see if anyone has any other solution, 'cause I'm not comfortable with the registry stuff.

Failing that, I'll disable hibernation...I was trying to save energy...and the planet! 🙂

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. 🙁

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
