Solved Lost icon...how to restore?

[coolnewyorker]

I am not certain, but I suspect either Vongo or Spybot2009 was responsible for one icon-(minimize all windows) disappearance from Quick launch at taskbar. Now I have to right click taskbar for "show the desktop" option to minimize all windows. Thanks God the "switch between windows" icon stayed put.

How do I restore the missing icon?

Icon recovered, thanks Stephan.

BTW, Each time I tried to leave you a rep, I was asked to "Spread some Reputation around before I can give it" . Wazzdat? How do I spread?

Hi CoolNewYorker,

It just means that you cannot give rep points to the same member again until after a certain time period. This is was down to help prevent abuse of giving rep points.

Your welcome Coolnoewyorker glad I could help.

So, how long is the "spread around rep" period? I really must leave Stephan a much deserved rep point.

Hi coolnewyorker,

Have a look at this: http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/118651-forum-rules.html#post786184
Notice the section Reputation User Spread.

Sorry, I cannot understand the reason or logic for this limitation. I simply want to thank whomever my gratitude is due to at the very moment I was helped...or I risk the chance I might totally forget...later on. Or does that mean I should continue to try leave rep point until such time I am allowed to? Can an administrator please leave Stephan some rep point today for helping me a few days ago? It is overdue. They (Ads)are exempt from such "spread around" grace period, right?

CoolNewYorker,

We had a few members that were working together to artificially raise their rep points by giving each other rep points when they did not deserve them. Thus, we all suffer a bit to maintain the integrity of rep points.
