Auto hide in notification area

[DSS]

The auto hide feature in my notification area is no longer behaving the way
it had. I went to Properties and have Hide inactive icons checked and
previously, an arrow would appear at the left hand side and hide the icons
that were not active. This is not happening now. I am using Windows XP
Home edition. I just installed Norton Firewall and also Works 4.5 and I do
not know if this would have changed anything, but I can't seem to get the
auto hide feature to work. Any suggestions?
