• How to increase the size of the icons in the notification area (lower right corner of the XP taskbar)

  For some reason when I booted up my laptop, the icons were tiny and too small for my eyes. I think it was related to the installation of TestOut LabSim software on the laptop, because I noticed that the problem after doing so.

  I was not yet aware that it was possible to adjut the size fo the icons in the notification area. All the links I found affect the icons in the start menu, or quick launch menu, but not the notification area.
  The notification area is now two-lines, if it used only one, but the size of the taskbar has not changed. My DPI settings are always set to 'large '. The display resolution is unchanged.

  The thing where you right-click the taskbar, choose 'Properties', then click on "Start menu", then customize, then choosing "large icons" is only the start, not the notification area menu. It is also already on large icons.
  In addition, the thing where you right click on the Quick Launch bar and ends by choose "large icons" affects only the Quick Launch bar, not the right notification icons.

  How do I do the large icons again so I can actually see them? My eyes are not more perfect, and I would rather not be squinting when using my laptop. I think seriously increase the DPI to 150% in its current form.

  Method 1

  Try the steps mentioned below and see if it helps.

  one) to open display, click Start, click Control Panel, click appearance and themes, and then click display.

  (b) click on the appearance tab, then Advanced.

  (c) now select buttons of legend in the list of items and increase the size.

  (d) click OK and apply

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you uninstall TestOut LabSim software of the computer and check if it helps.

• How can I permanently delete an icon from the notification area?

  Whenever I start an icon composed of the white black '9' in a field number appears in the Notification area of my desktop tool bar.

  Whenever I start, I have 'customize' on the toolbar and "hide" icon.  It always comes back.

  Apparently, it has no function.  Make a right click on it, in the hope of finding an option 'discard', produces no response.

• Missing icons in the notification area

  The only icons in the notification area are Microsoft Security Essentials and the clock. How can I get the default icons (especially ' remove hardware safely') to appear?

  It wasn't the problem. But I did a ggogle search and found many others have had the same problem of lack of icons in the notification area, the solution was a small script that change a line in the registry, and the problem is solved. The problem has been apparently related to start several programs at the same time when the computer is turned on.

  The default icon for the program appears in the Notification area when an application places an icon there. You would need to change the default icon.

• Missing icons in the Notification area of the taskbar

  Some of my auto began the task at startup are not presented in my taskbar notification area. Check or uncheck to hide the icons inactive functions have no influence on this behavior. Is this a known bug of Windows XP-Home Edition?

  Hello

  Tasks that are not present in the taskbar area?
  As far as I know if the application has started as a background process doesn t lie in the taskbar.
  Also possibly installing some programs ask you if you want to create the icon in the taskbar.

• Windows Defender icon in the Notification area

  Hello.

  Yes, I chose the "Always" button for the Windows Defender icon appear in the notification area.  : o).

  OS: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
  Internet browser: IE8.0.6001.18783
  Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1600.0
  Engine version: 1.1.4803.0
  Definition Version: 1.61.1700.0
  Internet Security Suite: ZoneAlarm 8.0.400.020.

  This icon has disappeared a long time ago and I don't do that now something to this subject.  I think that Windows Defender actually starts and runs in the background on boot-up top (I could be wrong here) but the icon does not appear in the system tray and MSASCui.exe does not appear in the processes tab unless I manually start Windows Defender after each reboot.

  Any assistance in obtaining the Windows Defender icon to always appear in the system tray after every reboot will be greatly appreciated.

  I thank in advance.
