Shutdown yield 'ShellIconHiddenWindow' warning

[Lester Stiefel]

Lately when I restart or shut down Windows I receive a
error message stating "ShellIconHiddenWindow" - (Application
did not shut down normally, Click [end now] to terminate).

I have Nero, Musicmatch Jukebox, iTunes, QuickTime,
Helium2,Winamp, and Picasa (googles Photo Manager/Organizer).

The $1M question is "What would cause this action or message
to come up?"

Can someone give me some clues.

That error message window seems to be caused by Musicmatch Jukebox.
You do not need MusicMatch running at startup. You can always start the apps
manually.

Remove these two entries...
C:\Program Files\MUSICMATCH\MUSICMATCH Jukebox\mm_tray.exe
C:\Program Files\MUSICMATCH\MUSICMATCH Jukebox\mimboot.exe

from...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
---

mm_tray.exe is the tray bar process for MusicMatch Jukebox which organizes
and plays music media such as MP3s. It gives the user easy access to the
MusicMatch Jukebox application and settings. This is a non-essential
process.

mimboot.exe is a process associated with Musicmatch Jukebox. The process
makes sure that Musicmatch is launched when starting up the system.

If it were me I would just uninstall the POS.
