Windows 7: Hidden icons in taskbar help

UK Steve73 Windows 7 Home Premium 2 posts South Molton, Devon. UK	Hidden icons in taskbar help Hi All, I've just bought Windows 7 Home Premium & Office 2010 and installed both onto my laptop but I have noticed if you click the show hidden icons and then customize there is something in there called GLBF48B.tmp (Community toolbar installation - 98%) Does anyone now what this might be?? Other than Office i've installed Paint.net, CCleaner, Firefox 4 Beta, Avast Free & Zone Alarm Free. Thank you in advance, Steve

Is what you're trying to say that you have an icon on your taskbar called GLBF48B.tmp? Why don't you try right click delete. Also could you provide a screenshot.

That's my guess, a lot of programs will leave an icon of the Temp Download on the desktop that will disappear once the programs real Icon is placed there, the OP either did not see the .tmp extension in the Properties or the Icon he wanted and dragged it there, I cant think of an instance where an Icon placed itself in the Taskbar without asking if that was what you wanted.

Pretty easy to drag it there without noticing though. I do it all the time.

Try going: CTRL + ALT + DEL >> Task Manager >> Processes Then look for anything that would relate to "Community Toolbar" and then Endtask. Hopefully that fixes it. Also recommend running a virus and Mal ware scan, something's running in the background.
