Hi, not all the icons in the systray of my Dell laptop will appear on bootup. Only about 5-7 will show up. I do not have "hide inactive icons" checked in the taskbar and start menu settings either.
I have googled this problem and have not found a permanent answer. I did find one tip that suggested logging off as a user and then logging back on again, and that works to bring them all back. But when I boot up again, they fail to all appear again.
I have a relatively new clean installation of XP Home SP2 running. It is less than a week old. All the icons showed up when I first installed the system. But in the last day or two, I noticed the disappearing icons.
I had XP Pro running on another laptop for a few years and never had this problem.
Anyone have a clue?
Thanks in advance.
