Start menu dissapears from the Desktop
« on: January 16, 2007, 06:22:52 AM »
Hello, few days ago I managed to get a new monitor for a network computer (we use xps), and in the same time I got an administrator account on the same computer. Sometimes after closing a programme I find out that the size of the desktop is smaller (has black border around), then I manually resize it. That's not such a big problem (although it's a bit annoying and I would welcome advice about what to do with it). The really weird thing is that the whole Start menu dissapears, and I can access only normal desktop icons. When I restart the computer it comes back but then again.. resizing the desktop etc. Anyone to help me? It will be greately appreciated.

Right clik on an empty area of the desktop and select Properties/Settings...try a few different size resolutions til you find the one that suits you...

You also could have your taskbar on autohide.  Go into settings and taskbar/start menu and see if that is ticked or not.
