Quick overview:
Die Taskleiste ist ein zentrales Element des Windows Desktops und beinhaltet neben dem Startmenüzugriff, der Schnellstartleiste und der Uhr auch alle momentan laufenden Anwendungen. Sie können die Eigenschaften der Taskleiste bequem anpassen, indem Sie mit der rechten Maustaste darauf klicken und z.B. die Art der Darstellung (Fenster anpassen) verändern. Nachdem Sie diese Maustaste betätigt haben tut sich augenblicklich ein so genanntes Kontextmenü auf.
Unfortunately, in rare cases, this context menu does not appear because it can be switched off by programs that run in depth. If you are experiencing this syndrome, don't worry, because Windows Tweaks has come to the rescue:
1. Start the Windows Registry Editor by clicking on Start/Run and typing regedit there.
2. Now navigate through the keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and double-click on the value NoTrayContextMenu and enter 1 instead of 0 to deactivate this restriction.
3. Now restart your computer and you can enjoy the convenient context menu again.
