    Hi,

    One of my icons on the taskbar duplicates itself (the same icon appears at the end of the taskbar) whenever I run it, while all my other icons do not. It isn't a big deal, but I would it be possible for that icon to behave like all the other icons and not make another copy of itself whenever I run it?

    Thanks for any help!

    If the program itself doesn't have a setting for this, another option would be to Run the program in either XP or Vista compatibility mode.

    To do this, go to the icon that you use to start the program, right click on it, select Properties and change the setting under the Compatibilty tab.

    I have the same problem with Rockstar Games Social Club. If it's not a frequently used program, it's probably better to leave it off. Helps with clutter too.
