heard of this in context of a taskbar. Can you please elaborate a bit more?

Perhaps one of the files is corrupt. Try right clicking on any program name
(after clicking start) then select 'remove from list'.

The option in the XP Start Menu is: Right click the Start menu and select
Properties/Start Menu tab/Advanced tab. At the bottom of that dialog under
