System tray icons

[Steve]

Occasionally, the system tray will not show the icons for some running
processes, so I have no way to get to those programs. It generally
clears up after rebooting, but it's been happening more often lately.
Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Right-click on the Taskbar and select Properties. Go to the
Notification Area. If there's a check in Hide inactive icons then
that's probably your problem. Un-check it and hit Apply.

In your menu, right-click on the program that you want>Send To> make a
desktop shortcut that you always have.

Thanks, but there's no checkmark in Hide Inactive Icons.

Thanks Mick. I already have desktop shortcuts set up, but I'd sure
like to keep the system tray icons visible...

I have this same issue and have "Hide inactive icons" unchecked. Some
program is clobbering the Taskbar icon(s) but can't determine which
one.
