i have an icon on my taskbar for the program Steam on my taskbar that cannot be removed.

what happened was i changed the name of the one of the program's parent folders, and now when i right click on in, no menu pops up, and i can't drag down to get any menu...

i attempted to fix this by changing the parent folder's name back to it's original, but to no avail.

halp :S

Hi and Welcome to SevenForums!

what happened was i changed the name of the one of the program's parent folders, and now when i right click on in, no menu pops up, and i can't drag down to get any menu..

The quickest way IMO to fix this is do a system restore to a point before you made the above change..

Aslo, Please fill in your system specs so we know what we're dealing with...Help us help you!

quick, simple fix.

i was thinking it may be as easy as something like that, but didn't know where to look.

thanks for taking the time to answer, and thanks a million for the fix =]

I am glad that worked. I am also glad that my suggestion was not too cryptic.

Cool username.
+1 thanks for the navigational path. I put it into my seven notes. Have a happy holiday man!

I am really surprised, and honored, that so many of you have "Antman" in your directory structure.
 
funny but not so far fetched, I do remember the first time num lock was on and I could not enter my spreadsheet silo readings at work
