Icon set to "always show" reverts to "hide when inactive"

May 21, 2008

I have an icon in the taskbar that I set to "Always show". However as soon

as I reboot I find it's been reset to "Hide when inactive". Other icons stay

set to the "Always show" mode after a reboot, and there's nothing unusual

about this one that I'm aware of. Any ideas?

Icon tells us very little. What is the application that would show as an icon?

It's a program called magicjack.exe that runs a "Magicjack" USB telephone.

Checking further, I see that perhaps it is unusual in that the program

resides in a Documents and Settings subdirectory rather than Program Files,

and is called by another program (magicjackloader.exe) at bootup. I don't

know why this should cause the behavior, though.
