I run XP pro SP2 and all updates.
At the bottom of the screen in the task bar "notification area" at the
right hand side is the clock. There are also 10 other icons sometimes there
eg Norton AV, "Safely Remove Hardware", MSN Messenger, etc.
The clock is always shown, the others are erratic, with anywhere from 3
to 10 showing. They could be any of the icons that are missing. It is very
random.
The next time I boot up there could be another set showing. Occasionally
the whole 10 (+ the clock) will show.
The icons showing do not change once I have booted up. (Unless I
manually reset them to show).
This is not really a problem as I have access to those programs via the
desktop and other ways, however I am interested to learn why this may be
happening. Is there something that I can do to correct this?
In the Task Bar and Start Menu properties, Taskbar tab, I have
unchecked Lock task bar
unchecked Auto-hide task bar
unchecked Keep taskbar on top
checked Group similar taskbar buttons
checked Show quick launch
checked Show the clock
unchecked Hide inactive icons
Any advice very much appreciated. Thank you.
Brian.
