Missing icons in toolbar

[L]

Some app. icons occasionally fail to load into the toolbar in spite of
being both active and enabled in the toolbar options. Some of my apps,
Kerio Firewall firewall example, are configured via the toolbar icon and so
I need them. Is there some way I can force them to load?

Thanks for any help

Just a correction to the question below, what I call the toolbar is I
believe called the systray.

I am having the same problem, using XP Home. Another PC here is running XP
Pro and does not have the problem. I hope someone can offer up a suggestion.

Check with a right click in the empty part of the taskbar and take
'Properties. (If 'lock the task bar is checked, first uncheck by
clicking that). At the bottom of the dialog, have 'Hide inactive icons
checked, then click Customise. In that look for the program and to its
right there is a drop down - select 'Always Show' in that
'Hide when inactive' is inclined to Hide things when you have not used
them, but are just going to want them

Hi!
open Taskbar and Start menu properties [to open the Taskbar and Start
Menu Properties dialog box, right-click an empty area on the taskbar,
and then click Properties].

click Taskbar button >customize>Highlight/select the application you

need to be always shown into the taskbar>select 'Always show' from drop
down menu>ok
