I am not sure if it is one of the kernel support DLLs or Explorer that handles
the Task Bar, but it is either started or it is missing. Not a sometimes thing. The
only thing you can control is if the SYSTRAY part is started in the MSCONFIG startup
list. And I assume you have not disabled that.
It is more likely that some program is causing Explorer or IE to hang.
For example, if Internet Explorer can not delete its Temporary Files correctly,
they build up to the point that IE windows start to hang, and the thread can not
respond to your click command to maximize the window. To clear this problem you have
to Delete the Temporary Internet files. Some times it is so bad you have to use a
manual procedure like DELINDEX.BAT to fix the problem. Corrupted Cookies can
do the same thing to IE, same solution.
Many of the ADware/Spyware program, browser hijackers and Virus and Trojans often
cause the same type of problem. They hang other programs, like IE, OutLook, and cause
them not to respond. So you have to check for and remove all of these. It is a never
ending task to keep your system clean.
