Strangely enough, that seemed to work. Not really sure why
MS would have programmed it that way . . . would have been
smarter to have that checkbox automatically selected when
the Customize Notifications option is used, especially
since there is no mention of "Hide Inactive Icons" in the
taskbar pop-up context menu.
Why add a feature and then make it hard to use?
Thanks,
Jay
