i think you have misunderstood due to my labeling, theme.rc calls lsbox.rc wich has the create taskbar.box line this .box file (higher up on the page) sets up the box and calls for tasks.rc to configure the tasks module in the box. i will try replacing the include lsbox.rc line with the straight call *LsBoxCreate "$ConfigDir$Lsbox\Taskbar.box"
i think this is what you meen?

[edit]
it didnt work samre old no error no box prob
