Don't know what it's called, but want to fix. Please Help Recently I received a couple virus' from a download. I've taken care of that problem but since then it disabled my ability to open the task manager, which I also fixed, but one other thing it did which was strange is change the way my..uhh bottom right half of my superbar works. I've provided a screenshot so you can understand what I'm talking about. I would like them to be back to clicking the little up arrow and having them all grouped together. Thanks ^^

Hello Levelchaser,
You can uncheck the Always show all icons on the taskbar box in the Notification Area Icons window to have this back.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
