WinXP pro SP3 Message-ID: <58B9EC46.7020303@att.net> I know this list is mostly for ham programs but I have a WinXP problem maybe someone can offer some help. This is my "ham computer" on my operating desk. I usually leave my computer on all the time and reboot it periodically. However earlier this week it locked up and I had to shut it down via the power switch. When I rebooted all came back on except the systems tray down at the bottom of the screen, is missing. Thus no start icon plus background operating program icons and minimized program icons. Have searched the web for a clue of what to do, but have found nothing useful. I am yet unable to restore/enable the system tray and associated icons. I've been able to work around it some, but would like to get it fixed. Can anyone on the list offer some guidance? You attention is appreciated. Ray, W4BYG -- I'm no longer young enough to know everything!

WinXP pro SP3 Message-ID: <135bc23.259d8ab7.45ec4f77@cs.com> Have you tried hovering the mouse pointer over the areas at bottom and top of screen where the task bar normally shows? There is an option to auto-hide the task bar on the Task Bar and Startup Menu Properties window that could possibly have been set.

Most of what was suggested I had done, but I did it again. No dice. I booted up again today and the same problem occurred. After fiddling around trying to overcome the problem and about 10 minutes later, the systray seemed to come back on it's own. My shack is remote from my house. I use a wireless card for internet connections to a router in my house. The systray did not show the icon in the system tray as it usually does and initially, plus I had no wireless connectivity. Could not get "Control panel>network connections" to display anything either. However in a few minutes the wireless card connected on it's own. Not sure what I did if anything that caused it. However, I still have the problem of many of my TSR background program icons are no longer displayed, such the "network" or "team viewer" icons, etc. The TSR anti Virus icon does display as it should. But any minimized program buttons will not go into the systray as they should. They minimize just above the systray. If I try to drag them down into the systray, they disappear. Been using PC's since the mid 80's starting with DOS 3 then 5 and a little later Win 3.3 and up. In the back of my mind, I seem to remember there are some simple app commands where one can configure what displays and where, but I can't remember what to look for or maybe I'm confusing this with another function. Obviously something is not right yet. So I'm still open to suggestions. All inputs are appreciated. I know I am going to have to upgrade to another Windows product eventually. I am just trying to keep WinXp going for a little while longer. This computer has a lot of really good XP programs that I don't believe will work with Win 8 or 10. Win 7 might serve as a possible buffer for a while. But at 78 years young, I'm not looking forward to all the work and expense it will take to upgrade.
