Leaves a gap on the taskbar when a window is closed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run taskbaric.exe to show only icons
2. Open Several windows
3. Close a window in the middle of the open windows on the taskbar

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the icons to the right of the closed window to move to the left to
fill the gap created by the closed window.

Instead a gap is left where the closed window was,

If I run taskbaric.exe again to show the normal XP taskbar buttons. The gap
is filled and it works normal.

If I run taskbaric.exe again. The gap also is gone.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm using taskbaric.exe (20090530), Window XP Pro SP3


Please provide any additional information below.

I discovered this problem after testing ViOrb. Even though I removed ViOrb, the
problem still remained. By going to a restore point prior to the installation of
ViOrb. The problem disappeared.

I also notice another problem that occured after ViOrb was installed and 
removed.
When tasbaric was placed in the startup folder to autostart. When a window was 
opened
no icons or tabs appeared on the taskbar. Again it worked normal after 
restoring to
the point before ViOrb was installed, There was no problem

This is a known issue with taskbaric.exe on XP systems. The current workaround 
is to
use taskbaric_xp.exe and apply the registry change for button widths:
