Hidden Toold box troubles

[David Carmichael]

For some reason programs that have icons that use to show up in the
toolbar/toolbox (the area next to the clock) have stopped being displayed!?!

I have
1: Right clicked on the tooolbar
2: Clicked on Proprities
3: Clicked on check box to "UN-CHECK" the check box that reads
[_]Hide Inactive Icons
And rebooted..

Yet the icons are still not being displayed..

So I then:
1: Right clicked on the tooolbar
2: Clicked on Proprities
3: Clicked on check box to "CHECK" the check box that reads
[x]Hide Inactive Icons
4: Clicked Customize
5: Changed all setting to: Always Show
And rebooted..

Yet they icons are still not being displayed!?!?!
The programs are running because they are listed in the
WINDOWS TASK MANAGER
PROCESSESS TAB

I did notice that the program listing in the :
Hide Inactive Icons \ Customize
area lists a number of programs that have been deleted from my system once
their DEMO/TRIAL time had expired.

Where is this info stored on the system so that maybe it is something there
is "LOCKED" and not allowing for changes to these settings?

Your patches worked!!!
_T_H_A_N_K_S_!!

Now if somebody would come up with a real fix for the CD/DVD/CDRW/DVDRW
troubles that so many users are having with WinXP!!

In my case... "IF"
1> I boot with no disc's in the drives the MY COMPUTER lists them
correctly.. but most all file menus do not
2> I boot with a disc in the drive then MY COMPUTER sees the drive as a
standard CD drive even it both of my drives are DVD drives... one being a
DVD+RW the other one only a DVD-RAM drive..

Due to this many DVD+RW/CD-RW software packages do not see the drives and
allow writing to them correctly!
I have tried so many different things...
Have the last/latest BIOS/Device drivers/ASPI Layer.. .. ..ect
