Blue icon is caused when you RDP or fast user switch on a computer. There is

"RDP"? What if this happens and you're not using Fast User Switching, then? I'd already put it down to the Taskbar bug acknowledged here.

If you can demonstrate the blue Icon when 1) Fast User Switching is not
enabled on the machine and 2) you've used neither Remote Desktop nor Remote Assistance, this would be news. Probably not significant news given that there's no functionality issue, but interesting, anyway. -- FAQ for Microsoft Antispyware: http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm "SP Goodman" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:(E-Mail Removed)... > > "RDP"?

If I knew what caused the Non-Hiding Disappearing Notification Icon Bug I
guess I'd be able to replicate what happened. When I first began experiencing the problem I posted here shortly afterwards, thinking that it was a worm of some kind that seemed to be selectively disabling or otherwise knocking-out Spybot S&D and MSAS - in Spybot's case it wasn't disabled, just invisible; in MSAS' case it was disabled, and even re-setting it from inside the program's options had no effect. The first manifestation of the problem began immediately after the "<" showing that there are hidden icons turned into a Blue Square icon. The next time I rebooted (before finding out about the Log-off/Log-on temporary workaround), icons stopped being hidden or loaded altogether, in MSAS' case.
