    Resolved [RESOLVED] VB6 Apps and Windows Task Bar Not Retracting

    OS Windows 7.
    Based on the number of internet posts about the Windows Task bar Not retracting it appears it has been an issue for some time.
    New issue to me.
    M$ seems to indicate that the problem rests with whatever Apps may be on the taskbar (one or more depending on users system) AND is NOT a WIndows problem.

    My taskbar is at the bottom of the screen,

    My taskbar just started NOT retracting for the first time.
    I have 3 apps shown on the taskbar:
    1) A 3rd party App written in JAVA that provides a linkage (TCP/IP) to the third party server.
    2) A VB server App (written by me) that interacts with #1
    and includes a GUI visible to the user if desired.
    3) A VB chart App (written by me) that interacts with #2.

    What I found is SOMETIMES when the VB server App is minimized, the taskbar will not retract. However if the VB server App GUI is shown (maximized), the taskbar then appears to reset itself and works as designed (retracts) even with the VB server App minimized. However, on a random basis will NOT retract again sometime in the future.

    Any ideas how to troubleshoot this ?
