Several icons that should be showing in systray aren't there. The programs are running & I have checked any box that says to display the icon. Three missing icons are: volume control, APC power backup status, & MS new spyware blocker. Two network connections icons are showing properly. Does anyone know what may be causing this?

I'm running Xp and I seem to be missing my volume control and battery status icons in the systray even though it is checked to display them in their respective control panels. I've tried unchecking, rechecking and applying and their is no change.

The icons at far right in the system tray are stacked up and I cannot get them straightened up in a line like they were. Taking up a lot os space at the bottom now. I have tried dragging them(no luck) I can get them to auto hide but I am not happy with that either. It is probably something simple that is not coming to me.

Lately, it's been like playing a slot machine, sometimes taking 8 or 9 reboots to get all the Icons to show up. I've tried every conceivable combination of actions available after I R-Click the bar, to no avail. All I want is to see each and every icon in the tray everytime I boot up with no excaptions.

I'll be bombarding you with questions in the weeks ahead. How do I remove unwanted icons from systray?
1) The HP printer icon is useless. There is no option to remove it from systray in properties.
2) The green icon is a "Safely remove device" service that refers to an earlier mistake I made installing my printer. I have no idea how to get rid of it.
I'm willing and capable of doing Registry hacks if necessary.
I've gone and set all the icons in my System tray, lower right corner, to ALWAYS BE HIDDEN, yet they keep coming back. Is there a registry tweak I can use? I'm using XP Home on a Compaq Laptop V5000.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a few icons in my systray that I'd like to stop loading
1. A double monitor icon with a big red cross, that when hovered over displays '' Local area connection, a network cable is unplugged ''
2. Volume button.
3. Safely remove hardware button.
My internet connection is working fine. I have the checkbox for don't display whether connection is connected or having problems. But something weird is going on. After I come back to the computer after a while, there are multiple local area connection icons in the systray indicating that there is a cable unplugged. But my internet is working and I can't find any other local connections in network places. The other weird thing happening with those little icons in the systray is that when I try to hover over them with the mouse to right click on them to see where they are coming from, they vanish as soon as I hover over them. There will be a row from 2 - 6 of them, they al vanish as I hover across the lot of them.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I went to start up my computer (HP Pavilion 750n, 768 MB RAM, 1.6 GHz Pentium 4 processor) yesterday, there was no power. I took it to the local repair shop. The tech said it was the power supply again (the second one I've had in 6 months). He replaced it with a non-HP power supply. It boots up and all the programs are functioning, but when I do the START>SHUT DOWN>SHUT DOWN, it just reboots. I did some investigating and found a work around for this (right click on MY COMPUTER>PROPERTIES>ADVANCED tab>STARTUP and RECOVERY SETTINGS>unchecked AUTOMATICALLY RESTART under SYSTEM FAILURE). I'm still concerned about why the icons in the SYSTRAY can't be hidden now.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter a malware infection (Inet2 and SpySherriff - which took over my desktop) I cleaned up some files, directories and registry-entries. Now, after the cleaning activity as explained by techguys, everything seems going well. All programs do start without problems (through the start-menu or the quick-start taskbar), but there is a small drawback: my desktop screen shows only my wallpaper, there are no icons. The right-mouse click on the desktop also doesn't work (although the desktopsettings are accessible through the control panel). I use WinXP pro. what is wrong and how do I get the icons back on the screen?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI noticed the other day that a couple of my tray icons are missing. I know I didn't uninstall anything or set them to not show. they just stopped appearing. To my knowledge, the ones that I noticed as missing (LogMeIn and DVD43) don't even have settings to hide them. When I go to task manager I can see that they are running in Processes, but there is no way for me to interact with them.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have found fix for the missing XP tray Icons on the home page of Tech-pro.net. The solution worked for me just fine as suggested on the web site which was to disable the UPNP using the provided reg file.But that got me thinking that it must be something that does this other then UPNP and I found the actual culprit. This is really dumb but it worked. Open My Network Placers and click on the "Hide icon for networked UPnP devices" located in the Network Task area of this window. If there is "Show icons for networked devices" in this location instead then the problem must be someplace else.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have perplexing problem. Dell Dimension 4600 running Windows Xp Home. SP2. I have no icons on desktop and cannot load any background wallpaper through display properties. They background choices are listed but cannot be selected. I do have icons when running in safe mode. This system was infected with several viruses and lots of spy/adware. Had alot of trouble removing Startpagedu.dll and New Poly Win32 trojans. I am wondering if I missed something. Ran Spybot, Adaware, Webroot Spysweeper, eScan Antivirus Toolkit, Norton Antivirus, Hijack This, CWShredder, AboutBuster, Ewido Security Suite. All of these were ran in safe mode. I also deleted all tempfiles and made sure no rogue services were running. I am lost about what to do next.

The problem is simple, my systray icons do not show up anymore but the clock does and I cannot access the 'hide inactive icons' check box that is in the properties area of the tray because it is grayed out.

View 5 Replies View RelatedToday, I noticed two icons that are normally in the system tray are gone. They are the blue battery icon for the laptop battery status, and the Windows volume control speaker icon. Yes,I opened the "Power Options" icon in Windows Control Panel, and under "Power Options Properties/Advanced, the checkbox "Always show icon on the taskbar" is checked. Yet the icon will not show. Same thing for the Windows volume control icon, in Control Panel, I clicked "Sounds and Audio Devices", and on the "Volume" tab, I have checked "Place volume icon in the taskbar", but there's no icon. They were both there yesterday, and I didn't knowlingly change any settings.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy problem was that there were icons missing in notification tray although they were not set on hide.I learned now that the most important thing on the way to find the solution is to know exactly how the elements that are involved in the problem are called..I am not english so that takes little extra time, so in order to find the solution as fast as possible I must always be very precize - to type more exact in Google.This little effort pays off..Oh..and there is always a tweak for whatever sollution, a good name to remember a tweak..Many pages with tweaks on internet.

I could bring up the task manager with Alt-Ctrl-Del and run programs from there and so I was able to Run the add / remove programs applet and get rid of the Norton Anti-Virus and install NOD32, updated and cleaned the hard drive.(internet connectivity works find) Install the latest Adaware 1.06 and do a full system scan, remove all the various garbage.
