One thing I find with Windows is that if one part of the system, like the task bar, has crashed, in order to fix it you have to reset all your 'explorer' functions. Perhaps I'm just being stubborn, but I like the order of the icons in my taskbar... <BR><BR>Of course you can change this in the registry. First load up regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit then press ok) and follow this path HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Explorer. <BR><BR>From there create the DesktopProcess DWORD and give it the value 1 which makes explorer split into many individual services. If this causes your system problems, simply change the value to 0 to disable.<BR><BR>From now on if you overclock too high, or a piece of software causes your system to become unstable, you no longer have to mess up your icons or reset explorer. Just reset the application which has actually locked up. =)
