Tray icons gone... SP3?

[Guest Gary S. Terhune]

I just recently noticed that my tray icons are almost all gone (all except

Avast!, the network connection are all that come up during a startup.

 

Now I run a tight ship, but not THAT tight! I have three external HDs and no

Safely Remove Hardware icon, for instance. (I reinstalled them and the icon

came back to stay for one reboot.

 

But I should also have Volume Control, (again, I can fix that until the next

reboot.) Everything is enabled in MSCONFIG.

 

I Googled, with mixed results. And I can't be certain that it's coincidental

with SP3 installation or some other one I've done since. But since it's hot

and smoky and I'm tired, I thought I'd ask about it here.

Re: Tray icons gone... SP3?

 

Maybe the autohide inactive icons was turned on.

 

To check this; right click in the task bar

click on properties

taskbar and start menu properties window will pop up

close to the bottom of that window you'll see a

check box that says "hide inactive icons"

uncheck it if it has a check mark

click Apply, then click OK

Re: Tray icons gone... SP3?

 

First thing I do when I set up an XP system is to turn off that infernal

"Hide inactive icons" and it's the first thing I checked. After all, setting

up Windows systems and teaching people how to use them, mostly over the

phone and using RA, is my profession.

 

No guesses, please, no instructions for individual items like restoring the

Volume Control are needed. I've tried them all and they all failed. I know

that SP3 apparently has caused this same problem for others, and it probably

caused it for me. (That or it's an incredible coincidence that so many

people have posted various places about the issue.) I want to know if there

is a fix. Or if someone has determined that it's some incompatibility with

some app like Avast! or one of the other common items that should appear in

the tray when enabled. I'm in the middle of testing everything in the

startup axis, but so far none seems to be the culprit.

 

Bonus points for responses from people who have also experienced this issue

in the past, SP3-related or not.

Hi Gary or better yet GAry. :o) Have you read over my spiel?

 

For some users, setting the very first icon to Always Hide, restores the

arrow/chevron. Note: It does take time for it to become effective.

 

Icons are missing or disappear, reappear: This happens for most Auto-Logon

users.

 

Methods/workarounds: Log off and Log back on, password protect your account

or disable SSDP and uPNP Services.

 

Disable SSDP and uPNP Services (Line 156)

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

 

Or uninstall UPnP from Add/Remove Windows Components.

 

Hide or Show Inactive Icons in the Notification Area (Line 53)

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

 

Remove Past Items From the Notification Area (Line 53)

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

 

Once done, Open Task Manager, click the Processes tab, click Explorer.exe,

and then click End Process. In Task Manager, click File, click New Task,

type explorer, and then click OK.

 

The "Past Items" values are written to the registry as part of the user log

off process. This is why it is necessary to "crash" Explorer, so the system

will re-read the new values, and not retain the old ones that are already in

memory from a reboot.

Like I said, I never Hide Inactive Icons. But I'll try it anyway.

No autologon for me for a long time, and I haven't changed any of those

settings since I set this machine up.

Ran these two scripts and some of the icons showed up. Then I did the below

and they dissappeared again. Then they can back.

Re: Tray icons gone... SP3?

 

That wasn't supposed to go out. Wasn't finished.

 

Thanks for the links at the bottom, I'll check them out when I'm not

swamped.

 

After a reboot, the icons appear to be behaving themselves.

Re: Tray icons gone... SP3?

 

Yes, well, until recently UPnP worked just fine and caused no problems. Now,

it is definitely the problem. Having thought about it, I don't think it was

SP3. That was too long ago. I think it was either installing Windows

Messenger 8.1 (upgrade from whatever comes in XPSP2), or some hacks I did to

allow me to offer RA to Vista users from this XP machine. (I already forget

what they were.) I suspect that in the case of Messenger, if installing it

was the cause of the problem, uninstalling it isn't going to help. Don't

think I'll even try as long as things keep working OK.
