I run WinXP/SP1. Is there some utility which will restore icons which have disappeared from the system tray ("notification area" )?I do not want to use the option for "Hide Inactive Icons" in the properties menu for Start/Toolbar.
i had attached a snapshot of the icons in my icon tray..pass few days back i found this "X" icon in my tray and i cant remove it and also it doesnt display anything..
I want to place an icon under the System tray. the program was installed already and i want to get a particular option only under the system tray.For Example : I'm having the Norton System Works 2005 on my Machine. and there is an option called Live Update in that program, i need to have the Live Update icon under the sytem Tray. So, that i can easily run the Live Update with out open the program . (In that program itself the Live Update is able to run with out opening the Norton Program) so, how come i place an icon under the System Tray.
When I booted up this morning,I noticed a new icon in the system tray,it looks like 2 computer monitors with a small bar flashing between them. I clicked on it and it said aquiring network connection,I cannot understand this as I was already on the net having a broadband connection.
Connection icon in System Tray, sometimes it shows, other times not. Have checked connection Properties and "Show icon in notification area" is checked.
I have a windowsxp operating system.Last week I noticed the volume icon missing in the system Tray as well as all other icons.The only one left is Norton icon.When I open the task bar and go into customize notifications all the icons are either folders or icons.Example volume has the picture of a folder.Norton has a lexmark icon.Lexmark has a folder icon.Real message center has a volume icon.I have been trying all week to remedy this problem.Ran Norton and Adware.Nothing.Has anyone in the forum run into this problem before and if so how did you fix it.
This icon suddenly isn't showing up, so I have to shut down or risk damaging something to get my external USB devices disconnected from the system.Is there a place in XP Pro that I can enable it?
Computer runs on Windows XP Home SP2. Since the last two or three monthly Window updates, that yellow shield icon - the Windows Update icon - no longer shows up in the system tray. I tried to locate it under "previous elements" (I'm translating from German since my computer language is in German), but it's not there. I only know when Window updates have been downloaded when I want to shut down the computer and I have the option to either first install the updates, after which the computer will shut down automatically, or shut down the computer without installing the updates.
In the last few months my volume icon does not load in the system tray most of the time on boot up.I have it selected to show in the task bar properties and the control panel. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get this icon back. I have to bring up the Master Volume Panel to change volume settings. This is a real pain most of the time, as all I want to do is stop a web site from playing some anoying music or turn the volume back on when I need it.
I recently installed (on my P4 3GHz machine running WinXP SP2) a LogiTech wireless keyboard and mouse combo (MX3200). It seems to be working fine, but I've noticed that ever since I installed the additional software that came with it (for the enhanced features), I've had problems with the speaker icon not loading in the sys tray at startup.
On an initial boot up, I loose the show hidden icon arrow and all the icons in the system tray, the only way to get them back is to log off then log back on again,
For about 2 months now the speaker icon in the systray has been missing. I've been to control panel>sounds and multimedia and the area to checkmark to show it is grayed out. Tried the replace the sndvol thing from the cd, but didn't help. Also, reinstalled the software for my card.
Every Time that I reboot I get an icon in the system tray, the icon is of a red sphere containing a white exclamation mark. I have run both a virus scan and spyware scan using CA eTrust anitivirus and Windows Defender but with no result shown.
My volume icon is missing from the tool bar. It has happened before, but a few reboots would always bring it back. Now it is gone. I have gone to control panel>sound and audio properties and found the place volume icon in task bar box checked. What can I do next?
how would I make it so that a program does not go to the taskbar, and instead runs in the background? For example, if a program minimizes to the system tray, I would like it so that it "goes to the system tray" but does not show, even if you expand it. Another way this can be described, is that I want it to behave like explorer.exe Also, How would I also make it so that if someone attempted to close that program, it would automatically open up again? Is there anything
Two AVG icons were in the tray - the normal one and one that said it was scanning - which was constant. I searched and found an answer to someone else's problem which was to exit the "normal" one and both would disappear. They did but the AVG icon is completely gone from the tray. I thought it would re-appear on its own.I can run it from the desktop icon but I'd like it back in the tray.
my audio/volume system tray icon has vanished and device manager says that all sound devices/drivers are working properly and are up to date, BUT - Sounds and Audio Devices Properties says I have no audio device installed. If I try to open volume controls
Can I remove a program's tray icon ( the one that appears near the volume icon in the taskbar ) without removing the program nor closing it? I want to totally remove the tray icon from near the volume one in the taskbar, so that it would not appear while the program is running. I don't want to hide it, but to totally REMOVE it from the system tray, Can I? Can I edit the registry for doing that or something else?
When I plug in a USB memory stick, my camera or an external hard drive, I get no tray icon (green arrow): the first two items I can 'eject' but I don't even get that option for the hard drive. However, when I loaded software and downloaded pictures from a phone for a friend, the icon and removal option appeared.
I formatted my pc the other day cause i had so much rubbish on it that i thought it would be easier to do so. I normally play yahoo pool so i need java sun for it too work or microsoft virtual machine, I prefer using virtual machine cause it loads easier and doesnt seem to crash. i cant install virtual machine onto my pc cause it says i have the wrong operating system for that version. java sun 5.0 is installed on my pc but not properly and wont load so i went to unistall it and get this message "error transforms, verify that the specified transform path is valid" I'm not sure what to do, I was gonna do a system restore but i cannot even find that on my pc.
help me after scanning my computer with avg i get this warning: "Windows cannot find "COCUME~1ADMINI~1LOCALS~1Tempservices.exe".Make sure you typed the same corrently, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click Search.Ok. I want to get rid of this Warning. It appears on desk top whenever i startup computer. My friend tells me it is to do with regedit.
My computer slowed down considerably a few days ago (it takes five minutes to open a word document) and sometimes freezes up. I've run three antispyware/antivirus programs and found nothing.
Where does Win Xp store the System Restore files? I'd like to save some disc space by not keeping every restore point. As it is, I have a couple of restore points that I created when I knew things where stable and that's really all I want.
I have some minor glitches in my system. I've been thinking about reformating the HD and reinstalling XP Pro. 2 questions: 1st is; if I back up my HD and then do a restore after reinstalling the os, won't I just restore the glitches I'm trying to get rid of? 2nd question; Since I've never done a reinstall and restore; will all my programs be restored just as if they have been installed (Drivers, programs, etc.); or do I have to reinstall all my programs and then do a restore so I get all the data that changed after they were installed?
The system seems to be very stable at this point in time. I run Norton Utilities and other maintenance sw as well as have a firewall/pest remover/anti-virus. Behavior - most things work fine on the USB ports, either the hub or direct connects. One digital camera will only work when direct connected(not thru the hub). I have a scanner that will only work on a 2003 Compaq Presario, but not on the whitebox on any port. Also, I have had two devices that won't work at all. I have noticed that the USB mass storage device icon doesn't seem to be present now when I attach a flash drive. This is recent behavior and doesn't predate every USB problem.
