can't "make" toolbars

basically my problem is this, wasn't created by truebar or anything like that, but whenever i select on an empty space to try to do 'new toolbar>truebar' all those options are greyed out. i have one shortcut bar i've had since i installed the os that is there, but i can't even get rid of that one. so i can't go and try to load up the truebar and i'm not sure why, tried going back to default skins cause i thought that might've been the problem, but it wasn't.

so anyone have any idea why xp isn't letting me create/delete toolbars?

You do not say what version of XP do you use
Home or Pro?

For XP Profesional:
1) Open gpedit.msc (Group Policy)
2) Find User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Desktop
3) Find option Prevent adding, dragging, dropping and closing the Taskbar's toolbars
4) Change it into Disabled or Not Configured

For XP Home:
1) Open regedit
2) Find key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
3) Delete value NoCloseDragDropBands or set it into 0
4) Restart computer.

I hope this will help you.

Also want to ask. I know some users have problem: TLB do not appear after restart. Check the value Don't save settings on exit or the registry value NoSaveSettings.

hmm, i did all that, infact it was that way before. but i still can't create/delete any taskbars. i'm trying to think if there was any 'tweak' i did that might've had to do with them..but i don't think there is..so any more ideas?

oh yea and i'm using xp pro

Try to search NoCloseDragDropBands in registry maybe it exists in any other place. Or try to enable/disable policy option.

BTW is your computer in the network and in domain. If so, maybe domain adiministrator setup Policy for your computer and you must to contact with him.
