What version of excel are you running?
There's a bug in xl2k that shows up if you're working with shared workbooks. If you're not using xl2k and shared workbooks, it sounds like you don't have permission to save this setting in your windows registry. I'd talk to my IT folks to find out if they can fix it. but.... Saved from a previous post... You could create a new workbook saved into XLStart (or put this into your personal.xls workbook) and it'll toggle that option each time you open a workbook. In the ThisWorkbook module: Option Explicit Public WithEvents xlApp As Excel.Application Private Sub Workbook_Open() Set xlApp = Application End Sub Private Sub Workbook_Close() Set xlApp = Nothing End Sub Private Sub xlApp_NewWorkbook(ByVal Wb As Workbook) Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = True End Sub Private Sub xlApp_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook) Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = True End Sub If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm excelsolutionsyorkshire wrote: In Excel if I check "windows in task bar", (Tools, Opions, View Tab) after I have restarted the machine this option is now unchecked.

Dave,
That makes a lot of sense. Many thanks. You guessed right I am using xl2k. However I am not using shared workbooks. I would prefer to wait to see if there are any alternative fixes for this before I change the xl code. All the same thanks for your suggestion, I really appreciate your assistance.
