[X4U] OT? parallels problem

[Steve Self]

Being a Mac user, I assume the "taskbar" is a Windows thing, as we  
don't have one. So the issue is within Windows.... Unless you are  
talking about the Dock. Yet I cannot imagine that Win-updates app  
would run in the dock as it must be a XP program. So... Can you  
differentiate and describe things a bit better?
