Minimized screen not going to taskbar

For some reason, when I minimize a window, it does go to the taskbar as it
used to. When I would minimize several they would be stacked into groups on
the taskbar. Now, when I minimize a window it shows as a small strip above
that taskbar. How do I get it back like it was when I first installed Vista?

Rightclick the taskbar, and uncheck the 'lock the taskbar' item if checked.
Resize the taskbar, or perhaps put all the items on the bottom line and then
resize. You probably inadvertently dragged the top line of the taskbar
upward at some time. Lock the taskbar to keep your setting.

I vote to do away with the crappy web interface and have everyone use a
newsreader.

I do use a newsreader. Windows Mail, and Windows Live Mail both can use the
Communities interface.

Good. I wish others would do the same.
