How long does a tasktray item have to be inactive before it goes out of view? I have several task tray items set to "hide when inactive." On startup, these are hidden. However, when I use one, it seems to stay around indefinitely or until I intentionally set it to "always hide" then back to "hide when inactive."

Is there a way to make this feature work reliably?

Thanks.
 
I have seen items displayed for about an hour. Some self hide again within
15 minutes or so. Some never hide, by default, as they are constantly
monitoring something - such as your internet connection.

Richard,

Thanks. I don't think that I have had the patience to wait and hour yet
;-).
 
I don't wait either. I just ignore them altogether. What happens - happens.

If they really annoy (?) then stop that item from running at all- but I tend
to do what you do, and disable the things programs that are installed by
programs that I don't need until I decide I need them- MS Activesync, Some
Norton stuff, Mouse and keyboard utilities, ........ and add those I do
want- there's a utility that empties the temp files automatically at
intervals I use because the drive is too full and I need to get round to
moving some stuff around to free space.
