When I was ready to return to the page, all I had to do was click on the tab bar and the page would re-open. Now for some reason when I minimize a page it disappears--no tab. If I need to alternate between two web windows, I can't. I've tried fooling around with the window size, thinking maybe by making them smaller I'd reveal the tabs again--no luck so far. AOL Help is NO help. Any ideas?   Rastro Citizen Username: Rastro Post Number: 2193 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Friday, January 13, 2006 - 3:33 pm:        First, move your pointer to the bottom of the screen and hover there to see if the task bar shows up. If it does, you've set the taskbar to autohide. To undo this, go to Control Panel... Task bar and Start menu, and uncheck Autohide the taskbar. If your pointer becomes two arrows pointing up and down, you've made the taskbar too small. Click when you see the pointer change, and move the mouse up. that should resize the taskbar.   zebra Citizen Username: Zebra Post Number: 22 Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Friday, January 13, 2006 - 4:26 pm:        That worked! (going to Control Panel/Task Bar and Start Menu). Thank you.
