Default Customize Systray Notifications won't stick.

If it's not one thing it's another.

I wanted to use Customize Notifications in the systray, and in the
section Current Items there are 7 items

I wanted to Always Hide 2** and Always Show 5, but I have the hardest
time setting them. I think they're set and the moment I click
somewhere else, 3 of them change back. How I got 4 of them right, I
thought I knew, but it doesn't work when I try on these three.

I've tried at least 6 times.

Anyone use this, know what I'm doing wrong?



** There is a Local Area Connection Not Cconnected icon that is there
all the time, even though wi-fi is fine (that connection has its own
icon) . Maybe it's meant for the cable connection, but I don't expect
to use that.

And there's a stunnel icon for using Agent 1.93 which has no SSL, but
the icon is always there and never does anything so I don't need to
see it.

The ones not showing now that I want are the Volume and the Power. I
want them.

Glad you got it sorted. Anyway, if your system is the same as mine, yes,
that is indeed what that one's for: if I hover over it, I get a popup
that says

Local Area Connection
A network cable is unplugged.

which seems fairly definitive. (The other identical one - other than not
having the red cross - has a popup which says "Wireless Network
Connection ()", with the name of my wifi in the brackets.)

It is important to write so that you can be understood. It is far more
important to write so that you cannot be misunderstood.

You have no idea how long it took for that message to sink in. Because
I thought I had done something either to make it not expect such a
connection or maybe it was just to make the icon go away. I resisted
using Hide Inactive Icons until Vista which had even more of them.

which seems fairly definitive. (The other identical one - other than not

Right.
