Default System Tray Icons


Great product, I have noticed one small glitch. Sometimes I look down and
find 2-3 icons in the system tray (I havn't done anything to start another
instance of the program). When I mouse over the icons they dissapear (except
for one) then a while later they seem to come back. I disabled the icon but
thought you might want to know about the glitch.

I think this program will be a huge hit. It seems stable and I love the ease
of use. My favorite feature is simple tool for regaining control of a
hijacked browser.

FYI I am on a tablet PC running XP 2005.

Default System Tray Icons

That's a "Windows'ism" by the way.

Sometimes when a process terminates that has created a
Tray Icon the icon remains until you refresh that section
of the screen (move your mouse over the tray).

If the icons are AntiSpyware icons:
Why the process (AntiSpyware) has terminated and
restarted a number of times is possibly the cause of a
bad installation

If the icons are for different programs/utils:
The icons can disappear when EXPLORER.EXE crashes. If a
crash is occurring, you'll need to source the cause of
the problem.

Default Re: System Tray Icons

The Icons were for Antispyware, Do you suggest I uninstall and reinstall?


Thanks,

Default Re: System Tray Icons

This application should place one icon in the system tray
(anyone else correct me if I'm wrong). I would suggest
you do try a re-install of AntiSpyware. Uninstall first,
reboot, then re-install.
