Task Manager Not Displaying in System Tray More options

[Daniel]

I can run task manager fine. However, when I minimize it, it does not
go to the system tray.
My Task Manager "Options" are:
Always on Top (I also tried this unchecked)
Minimize on Use (I also tried this unchecked)
Hide when minimized

Furthermore, I checked Start | Right-Click | Properties | Taskbar |
Customize to see Task Manager had a setting in "Customized
Notifications" and Task Manager had no entries in this area, though
there were entries for several other applications.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Daniel

When you minimize Task Manager does it gets minimized to the RIGHT HAND SIDE
OF THE TASKBAR where you can see the clock, network lights etc.
If yes then

Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl Alt Del > Click Task Manager OR
Click Start > Run Type there taskmgr

Click on Options UNCHECK "Hide when minimized"
I think this will resolve the issue.

The right-hand side of the Taskbar is called the System Tray & as Rock (MVP
SHELL LOL) will tell you the System Tray is part of the 'Shell_TrayWnd'
class. The class where the system tray icons reside is 'ToolbarWindow32'.
Now, Rock has learnt something too LOL

The right-hand side of the taskbar is called the "Notification Area" in XP,
not the System Tray.

The right-hand side of the taskbar is called the "Notification Area"
in XP, not the System Tray.

Actually, officially it's *always* been called the Notification Area, or
System Notification Area, even before Windows XP. But most of us have
unofficially called it the System Tray for many years now.

The status area is called the Notification area. In earlier versions of
Windows it was called the system tray.

From the Windows XP Glossary in Help and Support...

notification area
[[The area on the taskbar to the right of the taskbar buttons. The
notification area displays the time and can also contain shortcuts that
provide quick access to programs, such as Volume Control and Power Options.
Other shortcuts can appear temporarily, providing information about the
status of activities. For example, the printer shortcut icon appears after a
document has been sent to the printer and disappears when printing
is complete.]]

Taskbar notification area overview
[[The notification area of the taskbar is where you usually see the current
time displayed. This area can become crowded with notification icons that
appear when certain events occur, such as when you receive e-mail or when
you open Task Manager. Windows displays a notification icon when an event
occurs. After a short time, Windows puts the icon in the background to
simplify that area. You can access the icons that have been placed in the
background by clicking a button in the notification area.]]

No, when I minimize TM, it simply "disappears." It does not go to the
tray, taskbar, notification area or anywhere else, it just
disappears.

In order to bring it up again, I must right click the "notification/
tray" area or Ctr+alt+del, then it will reappear, but it used to live
in the tray/notification area.

Sorry to disagree, Wes, but it was *always* called both: officially the
Notification Area, but informally the System Tray. Even back in Windows 95
days, System Tray was just an informal name for it.

See here, for example: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/149276/

or here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/176085

I used to have an even clearer reference to a Microsoft site demonstrating
this, but I can't seem to put my fingers on it.
