Task bar icons always different

Hi all- Every morning when I boot-up my Windows XP Home, I find different icons on the task bar (down by the clock). Or if I do a restart for any reason, the same thing happens. The icons that appear are ones I want, but they don't appear at the same time. Of course I have clicked taskbar properties, customize, and there I find some of the icons I want in the "past items list" for some reason. I only have about six program icons I want on the task bar. Why are they always changing?
Also, there are a couple programs that will not open when I click on them even under "program files". One example is "PRINTKEY 2000" Worked fine when it was downloaded, now it wont open. In fact, when I click on it ,it jumps to the "Start" programs list, but still won't open.Why? On a regular basis I run a virus scan, Spybot, ad-aware, anti-spyware,do disc clean-up & defrag and other utilities not mentioned. The computer is a P4 1.7GHz w/1GB RAM and 2 HD's, both with about 80% free space at present.
Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.
