How do I stop certain system tray icons from hiding? I have tried the properties/customize/always show options but this does not seem to work. Also in this list here are a number of icons that belong to programs that are no longer on my laptop. Is there a way to:
1) edit this list
2) make certain icons always display (e.g. ac/battery) but hide others.
I had to have Windows XP installed because it had gotten corrupted and now I'm having a problem with the Icons on the taskbar hiding.I made sure that the Lock The Taskbar option is checked but its still hiding icons. How do I fix this????

View 14 Replies View RelatedI know this is a commonly asked question but the fixes I have found online so far have not worked for me. 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 RelatedTwo 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI 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 1 Replies View RelatedI have Windows XP Pro, sp 2.I just reinstalled Windows and the icons in the System Tray and Quick Launch Toolbar are definitely smaller. Is there a way to change the size of these icons?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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).

View 5 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 1 Replies View Relatedhow to remove unwanted Icons from the Taskbar tray?
View 2 Replies View RelatedRunning 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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSince I switched to WinXP, I'm having a problem. In many applications, when I go to "File Open", I am presented with a default view of pictorial icons, rather than text listings of the files directory.

In the past several weeks I have experienced a very peculiar problem with my Windows XP pro machine.All of a sudden, my icons (shortcuts) on the desktop stop functioning. I click ? nothing happens. After the first reboot it works for a while and then stops again. When that happens again, the computer doesn?t boot at all ? not even in safe mode.I boot the machine using a CD ROM - David?s Ultimate Boot CD, and then I can access the hard drives, internet etc. as if everything is OK. At this point my only recourse is to reinstall Windows, which I did.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI received a Windows error last night, and since then, I no longer have a system tray. I can't remember what file it mentioned or what I was doing at the time (I was on the brink of being clinically unconscious I was so tired). I recall it possibly being an 'nt' dll file. I turned off the computer last night, not really thinking anything of it, but today, the system tray is still not there. The clock is, but no icons.
