Taskbar Options Not Restored After Using Safe Mode (129417)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 98
This article was previously published under Q129417 SYMPTOMS
After you start Windows in Safe mode and then restart Windows
normally, your non-default taskbar options are lost. For example, if you
selected the "Show small icons in Start menu" option, this option is no
longer selected after you start Windows in Safe mode and then restart
Windows normally.
CAUSE
When you start Windows in Safe mode, all shell settings return to their
default values. When you next restart Windows normally, most of the
shell settings return to their prior values. However, some shell settings,
including the taskbar options, are not restored.
RESOLUTION
After starting Windows in Safe mode and then restarting Windows
normally, you must reselect any non-default taskbar options.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95 and
Microsoft Windows 98.
MORE INFORMATION
To start Windows 95 in Safe mode, restart your computer and then when you
see the "Starting Windows 95" message, press the F5 key. Or, press the F8
key and then choose Safe Mode.
To start Windows 98 in Safe mode, restart your computer, press and
hold down the CTRL key, and then choose Safe Mode from the Startup
