The “Hide Inactive Icons” option is Grayed out in Taskbar Properties.
1. Click START–>RUN and type REGEDIT
2. Click the plus sign next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
then SOFTWARE
then Microsoft
then Windows
then CurrentVersion
then Policies
then Explorer
Create a DWORD value called EnableAutoTray
Set the value to 00000001 to enable the “Hide Inactive Icons” option again.
