Customize notification area

[Guest]

When I right click on the taskbar and select properties, and click on
customize in the notification area everything is set to “Hide when inactiveâ€.
They cannot be changed. When I click on them the down arrow appears, but
does not work.

See if this helps you,

Navigate to the following location in the registry,

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify]
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify]

Delete "IconStreams" and "PastIconsStream"

Logoff and logon to have the changes to take place.
