Guest trvlnmny Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 When XP started I always say some icons in the system tray portion of the taskbar. Particularly Norton Ghost, Norton Internet Security and a couple of others. I no longer see these. The system tray is empty. I do not know what changed this. I am not absolving myself as it is possible I did something but I do not know what. My real concern is that these programs are not running. Is that possible? How do I correct this? Thanks for any and all advice.

I did what you suggested. Both Norton programs were set at Hide When Inactive. Does this mean that they are not running? I changed both of them to Always Show and restarted XP but they still do not show in the System Tray.

I changed both of them to Always Show and restarted XP but they still do not show in the System Tray. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can't tell if they are running, or not just by the icon being in the Systray. Access the programs in Start | All Programs and you should be able to tell by opening them from that location. You ca also Right Click | Send To Desktop (create shortcut) and pot an icon on the Desktop. Right click on that and it should show the status of the program. Back in: Right click on the Taskbar | Properties, try unchecking Hide Inactive Icons. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA
Guest Alvaro Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Re: System Tray on Taskbar I would like to add a question: How can I remove items from the System Tray? These items get there at program installation and I do not want them there.

These items get there at > program installation and I do not want them there. Clic on the icon and find if an item exist, ie "Start with Windows" or so. Other solution : Start>Run>msconfig -6 Deactivate the one you do not want anymore starting with Windows. Next Start you will have to accept the change you made.
