While my Thinkpad-modified version of XP Pro has proven 99.999999 stable, a recent install on a new P4 machine shows at least two disturbing, posibly related problems including the taskbar/icon vanishing act - which seems to occur when a request is made to do something "impossible" - like refresh a file still showing open on the screen though it has been deleted (why the situation eists in the first place is a mystery...). My easy solution has been either to three-finger-salute and force a shut-down of all non-responding apps and folders. If this doesn't solve the problem than rebooting corrects it. Considering this is SP2-included edition, it seems there's more sloppiness coming out of Redmond. The second problem concerns a significant lack of folder-style memory and a very annoying default to Tiles/Auto Arrange/By Name though "W2K Classic" styles are specified throughout. Anyone got an idea where in Registry to fix this one - along with the chronic failure to FAIL to start various crucual and standard services, esp. print spooling?
