System tray problem

[Guest]

I am having problems with the icons in the System Tray. Randomly, icons which
are marked 'Always show' do not appear. These programs are actually running
but they are not accessible via the icons. Some times icons which should be
covered up cannot be uncovered. It is probably symptomatic that the list of
programs in the Task Bar Start Menu Properties is a mess. Some of the icons
are located with the wrong programs and some of the programs do not have
their own custom icons.

Try cleaning it out by removing past items. Kelly's got tools and/or scripts
to do this at her site:
