What you may NOT have to do....
I am adding here to the thread what you may not have to do, before all the extra
time and aggravation. I found this thread at a Google search, and it is exactly the
same problem I have - and I see a few possible avenues to try. I am getting most
of my System Tray Icons except one main one I am trying to make appear. I went all
through the "msconfig" scenario on XP and so on - making sure the program is checked
properly everywhere to start at Start Up. I have Uninstalled my program (Handstory
Suite) and re-installed it... no help.
What you may NOT have to do..... I have some Spyware extra programs installed besides
Norton AV like "SpyGuard" and "SpyBlaster" - which disable all sorts of spyware and
scumware and others from downloading spyware and such through IExplorer. I had recently
uploaded new definitions in these and was thinking perhaps one of the Spyware Definitions
had blocked my program from starting normally. After Uninstalling them - nothing...
the program icon in the system tray was still not appearing.
I have seen here a few remedies to try. I also tried copying the shortcut to the
"Start Up" folders in Windows Explorer - there are a couple such as "..All Users
/ Programs / Start Up - - - and - - - Your Name (primary user name) / Programs /
Start Up - - - and - - - Default User / Programs / Start Up ... .... .... but that
did not place the icon in the tray. Best of luck all, and I will be back if any of
the other suggestions here work. I would really like to know the actual conflicts
as well, because I also tried using the "Hide Inactive Icons" by right clicking for
Properties on the Task Bar, and then clicking "Customize" and choosing the icon and
all others I wanted to appear with the "Always Show" these Icons. This did not work,
as when I had re-installed my program - at least then the icon appeared until I shut
down my Computer. Strange, because the program and tray icon have been working fine
for over a year and I do not have all sorts of excess Start Up icons in the tray.
