What program is it? Some programs have it defaulted to system tray upon minimalization. Check your settings and such in the program and see if you have an option to change that.

All the programs like IE, windows explorer etc, whenever minimised not appearing to the taskbar.

Check your pc for virusses... I had this once (with Vista so maybe that was the cause Rolling Eyes ) But i found a virus was screwing my explorer.exe (the process responsible for menu start etc.)

Good luck!

Do you have a 2nd video output enabled?

I purposely get this if I run both my monitors at once. I minimise screen 2 and it sends the button to the task bar of screen 1. If you have screen 2 active but with the display not actually going anywhere then this can occur.

Only my laptop's own screen is connected.No second output device.

Did you install any software like Vista Mizer or Vista Inspirat Pack ?

Try using the windows CD to repair windows installation. It will fix the explorer.exe and other related setting back to the default values.

And just to be sure it is not due to two sceens output, take Desktop Properties settings and verify that only one screen is active.

I have found a software called Taskbar Repair Tool Plus!
This one is realy amazing and solved my problem.
