Taskbar Icons
I am having problems making my Taskbar Icon settings stick, one particular app now has several entries saying 'Show Icons and Notifications' but every time I re-boot the machine these entries are ignored and a new entry added 'Show Notifications Only'. Is anybody else seeing this behaviour? Can it be fixed? -- Jeff Gaines Dorset UK There are 10 types of people in the world, those who do binary and those who don't. |

Is anybody else seeing this behaviour? Can it be fixed? Yes, I have the same problem. I have no idea how to solve it. -- Crash "The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion." ~ Arnold H. Glasow ~ |

Is anybody else seeing this behaviour? Can it be fixed? It depends....I've seen some apps behave like this and not display notifications in the system tray in Windows 7 unless they are run in compatibility mode for Vista or XP. Try this first and see if they behave. I've seen the system tray behavior changed by previous app installs putting their own systray notifications into the registry, and somehow changing the behavior of the subsequent installs. Best solution for this is to reset the default settings by editing the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Classes \ Local Settings \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ TrayNotify) and deleting the Iconstreams and the PastIconsStream values. Exit the registry editor. Set the tray notifications again from the systray or control panel. One can usually get proper behavior from one approach or the other. |

Many thanks, Augustus :-) I have tried XP-SP3 compatibility mode and deleted the registry keys but it hasn't survived a re-boot. Perhaps we need to wait for SP1? In the meantime I've just turned the icons on, there aren't many of them. -- Jeff Gaines Dorset UK There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.
