    Toolbar added to taskbar looses previous functionality


    I have my user folder added to the Windows taskbar.
    Up to a few days ago when clicked it would open and display contents, Still does,-
    then I could hover a folder and contents would display, -Still do,-

    I could then click that folder and it would open in explorer, or any individual file would open in appropriate program- This no longer happens

    I now have to use Explorer proper to navigate to file/folder and open it there.

    What happens if you hit the print screen button to get a screenshot? You can trim/crop it via Paint.

    Solved: I normally "Hibernate" my 'puter, I don't do a restart for up to 2 weeks at a time. So I adjusted my mouse click speed to be slower, but this didn't help. So decided I would do a restart, BUT surprise, surprise I couldn't select the "Restart" option from the drop-down, or any option other than "Shut down" I did a power-button shut down and upon restart the "lost functionality" is back.

A Win 7 install on an old server has got me flummoxed. I cannot get the taskbar to function properly. I have tried every trick I have found Googling and none have fixed the problem.
