re: notification area settings change by themselves Sunday, August 3, 2008 at 7:43 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Spexx (2229 messages posted) Are you aware that the system tray icons are simply defined as "inactive" if you have not clicked them in a while? What you are seeing may in fact be the correct operation of this (irritating little) feature which is supposed to "keep your desktop tidy". This is Microsoft dictating to me what I see on my desktop and I will not have that! Personally, I do not hide "inactive" icons and thus do not get annoyed by the behaviour. I want to see all the icons all the time, in the order I set them to appear. Cheers. Spexx.
