I bought my new Dell with Windows XP and then loaded all
of my programs on it. No problems yet. I installed power
tweaker and tweaked my system and now i cannot see any of
the programs running in my notification area. When i goto
properties on the taskbar to change the option the option
to hide the notification area icons when inactive is
grayed out/non-selectable

Taskbar - Remove Notification Tray Items from Taskbar

This setting removes and restricts access to the tray icons normally found
next to the clock on the taskbar. Open your registry and find the key below.
You may need to create the key if it does not already exist.

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called
'NoTrayItemsDisplay' and edit the value according to the settings below.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explor
er]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Explo
rer]

Value Name: NoTrayItemsDisplay
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = enable restriction)

Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the
change to take effect.
