Task Bar Desktop Icons - Left Screen Auto Hide Enabled
Sep 20, 2010I've recently re-sized my task-bar to hold my usual desktop icons in the quick-launch area and moved the bar to the left of the screen with auto-hide enabled. All was well until recently when it began to remain on-screen for about 1 min when not in focus. Then it recently began to open on start-up at a size of only 1 icon wide instead of the previously set 3 icons wide. I've made no such changes to the configuration and am curious to know if anyone might know why/how it seems to have obtained a "mind of its own"???

Oct 16, 2006My Windows Explorer keeps crashing. I loose my desktop icons, taskbar, tray and start menu. Windows minimize to just above where the taskbar should be. Usually I can re-start the explorer.exe in the task manager. It now flashes and then is gone again. I can't get it back. How can I get to the control panel with no start menu? I've tried an earlier restore point, restarted with last known good configuration. Nothing. I'm running windows XP Home SP2 all updates.

Nov 4, 2004I cannot get the autohide for the taskbar to continue to work. When applying the autohide it does hide until you put the mouse pointer down to the taskbar then it reappears and will not rehide even if you click on the desktop. Is there another setting that is conflicting this one?

Aug 12, 2002If you are like me and you like your desktop perfectly clean to see your background, then here is a good tweak. If you are using the regular start menu(not the classic one) and you only have the recycle bin left on the desktop and would like to get rid of it and still have easy access to it, then listen here:First drag the recycle bin into the start menu and place it at the top so it is 'pinned to the start menu' along with i.e and o.e(both these items are pinned typically).Right click on the desktop and scroll to 'arrange icons by' and then uncheck 'show desktop icons'Now the recycle bin will be gone but you will still have access to it in the start menu.

May 7, 2010When 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.

Dec 11, 2008I 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 RelatedFix For Missing Tray Icons
Jul 6, 2005I 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.

Sep 20, 2006Today, 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.

Nov 25, 2006Two icons have disappeared but occasionally reappear for one or two secessions. I believe this happened after the Microsoft updates early November but that may be just a coincidence. The programs are still running when I check in services and I am just wondering why this is happening. The icons that disappeared are Webroot's Spyweeper and Pure Network's, Network Magic, my network manager program. My system specs are P4 2.8mhz 1024mb ram 160gb hdd running Windows XP Home.

Sep 10, 2008Running XP Pro and SP2. For some reason my icons in my bottom Right hand tray keep losing themselves. The only ones shown are my Wireless Adaptor, Bluetooth and Kaspersky. But when I go to Control Panel, Sounds and Audio devices Properties and turn the icon on and 'apply' etc. all of my missing icons pop up, "sound, wireless connection, cable network connection and safely remove hardware". But when the system is restarted for use at another time, Its back to as described with missing icons. I've been into Control Panel, System Services and down to Universal Plug and Play properties, this was set to "Manual" to which I changed to "Automatic". I did this following a subject at MSN Knowledge. But again starting the system today its just the same. One thing not mentioned, I did a registry clean a few weeks ago, whether someting had changed at that point.

Aug 16, 2009I am running windows xp service pack 3 on an hp desktop and i have recently installed a new wireless card. The network that I am trying to connect to can only be accessed through the use of windows wireless manager. The problem that i am having is that the network icons (both wireless and wired) are missing from the system tray. This wouldnt normally bother me, but one of the steps for connecting requires you to click a bubble that pops up from the wireless network icon. However, no icon = no bubble. I can access my available networks from the network connections folder, but i need those icons in order to finish setup. I have checked the boxes to display the icons in the system tray and I have unchecked the hide unused icons box. I cannot find any solutions online.

Aug 1, 2008I have a weird issue (relatively minor one) concerning my system tray on my XP SP3 installation. This has gone on for several months (if not years) now on my custom computer. I am pretty good at computing in general, but this stumps me right now and then! (please view my computing specs if you can see them, if not PM me.)Apparently, whenever I click on any icon in my system tray on the start bar, it will usually show the right click menu for the TASK BAR. Does this make any sense? I wish this would not happen. If anyone knows how to resolve/fix/stop this, please reply to this thread, please. Thanks!!! I am running a genuine (valid) copy of XP SP3, with all updates. I do not run any illegal modifications or otherwise illegitimate software at this time, so that is not the cause of this at all. I swear by the number of hairs on my head, if that is not enough, then the amount of stars in the universe!

View 7 Replies View RelatedSystem Tray Is Missing Icons Until System Restore'
Sep 2, 2006I am running Win XP Pro with SP2 (standard setup). The problem: A couple of the icons in the system tray don't show up on re-boot. Specifically, the 'safely remove hardware' icon, and a backup utility called 'second copy' that runs on startup. When I 'restore' to the exact same point, everything is fine. When I reboot, gone again. And when they are gone, I can't run the backup utility (it won't start). What is different about the restore utility that makes it work if I restore to the same exact point. This all started with I tried to uninstall and reinstall Norton Utilities (which seems to be working fine).
