![]() So this is strange, suddenly in the last couple of days I'm unable to bring up a menu by right-clicking active program's icons in the taskbar. If I right-click an empty portion of my taskbar the normal menu comes up and all is good. When I right-click on a program button I get nothing. I haven't installed anything new lately or changed any properties. I can't figure out what is going on and so far my Google searches have been no good. |

![]() This kind of effect can be achieved through editing a GPO (Group Policy Object) on the local machine. I know some virii specifically target GPOs to make their effects work, because most scanners don't see the editing of local GPOs (or an apparent push-down of remote GPOs) to be a virus effect. |
