SysTray icons

[thinman]

For some time now, the program icons that would normally appear in the
system tray either don't appear at all or only a % of them do show. I've
tried restarting several times and each time, a different number of them
show/no show. If I simply log off / on, then all show as they should.

MSCONFIG lists all the programs and all have a check in the left hand
box.

Any suggestions as to why the system behaves as it does ?

thanks

Old bug within XP, Ray. This generally happens to users that use
Auto-Logon.

Methods/workarounds: Log off and Log back on, password protect your account
or disable SSDP and uPNP Services.

Try right click start button, properties, go to the "hide system tray icons"
and adjust the settings - which include "always show" "always hide" and
"show when active" (or "hide when inactive").
