I am running the RC in Windows Classic Mode for the display. When I click the Safely Remove Hardware to disconnect my external USB HD, I do not get the bubble that I got under XP telling me that it was now safe to remove the device. This also is the case under one of the Win 7 themes.
Have I set up something wrong?
My friend had an issue where he recently installed a program, and then went on to uninstall it. He cleaned out all the registry issues and leftover files. However, in his notification tray (Windows 7 Professional), the app icon remains. Not in the actual notification tray, given that the app never does anything. When he goes to the little arrow, and then hits "Customize", the app shows up. Is there any way to get rid of it manually?He's already reinstalled/re-uninstalled the program. Didn't work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn my notification area (by the time) I have three objects: Sound controls, internet, and Action Center. By clicking on the arrow next to it you see a tray of many other things that I like to keep out of sight. However, often one of these items (For example, Dropbox) will randomly hop out of the tray and into the list with the other three objects and will be in clear sight. It is not just Dropbox that does it (although that seems to be the usual perp), so I don't believe it has something to do with Dropbox connecting all the time or being "active". Is there any solution to this problem? I have tried going into the properties of the notification area ("Customize...") and turning the icons off, but to no avail.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed the AVG summer 2012 update & it has left "avgtray.exe.old" in the hidden notification area. This shows when I select "customize"I would like to remove this as it is causing the AVG Icon (avgtray.exe) not to show, when I click on the "show hidden Icons" up arrow and I'm concerned that AVG may not be working properly.avgtray.exe is showing in processes in the task manager & I think it's running properly. It's updates & scans etc.I've uninstalled & re-installed AVG numerous times at the advice of the AVG forum, who have now advised me to contact microsoft.I've also run regedit, deleted Icon streams & past Icon stream and then stopped & restarted explorer.exe. All without success.I'm not sure how to contact microsoft & I keep finding a microsoft technical website, but they want to charge me before I post a question.I've recently checked & other people have also reported this problem on the avg forum.

Since I installed Windows and all those HP apps (some of them apparently required to access BIOS) I got this shortcut on desktop and I cannot remove it. Deleting it manually does not work and the shortcut does not appear in User/Desktop or Public/Desktop folders. Right clicking it does not show the usual menu but this so I cannot get the location of the file. Also, the Remove Icon option does nothing not even in Safe Mode. How to get rid of this? Some suggested to reinstall the app however this also does not work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't remember the exact date, but before, whenever I startup my laptop, I always have the Dolby notification icon in the bottom right. But now, I don't know what I did, the notification icon never appears for Dolby. The settings for that icon is set to "Show" but whenever I click on it again, it says "This notification is currently not active" Eventhough, I'm pretty sure it's on.I tried reinstalling, but I keep getting error messages once it's reinstalled. So I have to use System Restore, and this has been driving me nuts...and this keeps going in circles.I think there is something wrong with the registry of this program.When I go to the program location, I have a Dolby Profile Selector, Dolby Profile Editor, and Dolby Profile Launcher...I am so confused now, as I always had the Notification Icon available.I can add Dolby to the Startup Folder, but when turning on the laptop, the entire Dolby profile pops up when Windows 7 boots, and that was not what happened before?

When I click to eject the one I want Windows never says that it is now safe to remove.If I have a window to the drive open, I correctly get a message that it is not safe to remove. But I can close all windows and programs, leave the drive unaccessed for a couple of hours and then try to eject. It still doesn't tell me it is safe to remove. I can tell that there is no activity because of the light on the flash drive. Somehow the message is not being displayed.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have just started using a new Windows 7 laptop. In Windows Live Mail Version 2011 (15.4.3538.513), when a new mail is downloaded from the IMAP server, there is no sound or popup notification. I think that all necessary sound / notification settings are properly checked in Windows Live Mail > Mail > Options. My sound is ok. I even get a windows default sound, when some error is notified in Windows Live Mail. I have been using OE (under XP) and WinMail (under Vista), and this problem does not happen there.

Email is Gmail based account using Windows Live Mail.
My notification area always displays all icons and notifications, but when I want to customize those systray icons, for some reason I can no longer use "Restore default icon behaviors" or make any other customations. In window "Select which icons and notifications appear on the taskbar" all the options beneath "Behaviors" are inaccessable (showing 'Only show notifications' in a greyed out fashion). Also, when trying to click on any icon beneath "Icons" nothing happens.
At the bottom the selection option "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" is greyed out and its checkbox unmarked.
When I click on "Turn system icons on or off" I get the correct window ("Turn system icons on or off"), and "Behaviors" are accessable. However, when clicking "Restore default icon behaviors" nothing happens. Clicking on "Customize notification icons" brings me back to the "Select which icons..." window with those non working options.
I have tried Brink's tutorial "How to Hide or Show System Icons and Notifications in Windows 7", but no matter which of the included .reg files I merge, nothing changes and "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" stays greyed out with its checkbox unmarked.
Otherwhise, my system (Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate) runs great, I just cannot make some systray customations that I would now like to.
I have some programs that have I have uninstalled but when I click on customize notification area, they are still in that list.How can I clear the list of old programs?
The notification area also does NOT show my bluetooth icon which I set to "show icon and notifications"It was there before but no longer there. I've tried restarting my computer but it doesn't fix the problem.
Ok I was able to clean up the notification area but it still does NOT show my bluetooth icon while I have a bluetooth dongle inserted in the USB.Whenever I set it to show icon and notification, it tells me that "This notification icon is not currently active. It will be shown the next time it becomes active." But it always showed the icon in the past even when i wasnt using it.I noticed that every time I set it to show icon and notifications, it keeps resetting back to only show notifications when i go back to the customization windows
