Where are the icons in system tray ?

[T. PHAM]

....There are some application programs running in the
background after the computer(Windows XP Home) start.
Sometime they appears at the system tray, but most of the
time they are...not there (including in the hiding area).
What can I do to fix this problems?

I would very much appreciate your insights.

I did that, but the problems remain.Some icons were
there, some weren't there. Any other idea ?

Thanks.

Click on the double-arrow to the right of the icons that are visible, ane a
menu with the rest of the icons should appear.

Hi T,

Go to Kelly's excellent web site:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

and scroll down to line 53 'Hide or show inactive icons -Notification
area' and line 294 'Hide or show notification area icons.'

Good luck

Hi,
Thanks for your response. They are not there(in hiding
area)either. Sometime they appear at the system tray,
sometime they disappear!
I very much appreciate your insights.

Disabling "SSDP Discovery Service" and "Universal Plug and Play Device Host" has worked for me so far after two successful reboots. I went to-- start/run --then typed-- msconfig --once the "System Configuration Utility" opened, I clicked the "services" tab and unchecked "SSDP Discovery Service" and "Universal Plug and Play Device Host.

I've had this problem for a couple of years now. I hope this work around is good for the long run because the problem bugged me so much lol.
