Intermittently after the reboot, the option "Hide when minimized" in the Task Manager Win XP is too effective; the CPU usage icon does not appear in the notification area. Sometimes restart heals, sometimes not.
The Options menu of the Windows Task Manager includes "hide when minimzed ', to display an icon in the area of notification, but not on the traskbar. I leave that option checked all the time to control the percentage of processor; but sometimes without apparent cause, after I reboot there is no icon in the area. Is there a way to fix this?
Hello ronks,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.
The reason for which the icon is not in the system tray is because the Task Manager is closed not minimized when you start your computer. To do this, you could do the following:
-Go to my computer > C: > Windows > System32
-Locate in Taskmgr
-Create a shortcut > right click on the shortcut > click on cut
-Navigate to my computer > C: > Documents and Settings > username (your username) > Start Menu > programs > startup
-Paste in the startup folder
-Right click on the shortcut > click Properties
-Less run > pull down the menu and select Minimized > click OK > close window
Now every time that you restart the Task Manager will be launched in a minimized state.
Hope this helps Chris.H

Eliminate, not hide, icons in the notification area
I am running Windows XP SP3. Is there a way to permanently eliminate unnecessary icons that are currently cluttering the notification area? Any help will be appreciated. Fred
Hello
What are the icons in the notification area, you try to delete? Programs in the startup folder starts when you sign in to your profile. Try these icon right click or open the program and see if you can get "don't work don't not at startup" or "start with windows".
You can also check following sites:
Click Start-> Start up folder: see if whatever it is this that you do not want to load and connection.
Click Start-> Run Type & -> MSCONFIG-> ok select Startup and uncheck the programs you don't want to load at startup.
Icons such as LAN can be disabled from-> click on start-> network-> right-click Connections LAN and uncheck "show notification icon.
For Volume icon click on start-> Control Panel-> sound and Audio device-> uncheck "icon of volume of space in the taskbar.
I hope this helps.

Its icon does not appear in the notification area - no audio device is installed
NO INSTALLED AUDIO DEVICE & NO SOUND, VIDEO & GAME CONTROLLER NOT TAB ON DEVICE MANAGER
I had some problems with the sound on my laptop... sometimes the volume icon will suddenly disappear from the notification area and I can not add it even because it is grayed off the coast, unless I restarted my laptop... and after an automatic Windows Update I suddenly got errors on my sound whenever I play a game and try to mute it. After that, the volume in the notification area icon got a red X and it had the "NO AUDIO DEVICE IS INSTALLED" message!
I tried everything I found on the net without success. I can't even enable or disable my audio driver because I have NOT any how 'audio, video controller & game' tab on my DEVICE MANAGER! I can't uninstall & re-install my drivers either because it would not uninstall first, even in safe mode. Reinstall the driver will give me an error message saying "No. MEDIA FOUND to this DEVICE DRIVER" !
I also tried to reformat my laptop and goes back to factory settings, restore my system to a point where I wasn't having problems still, it reboot several times, always check the Device Manager if somehow the tab for its controller will magically appear and try several times to reinstall my driver... This gave me No. SOLUTION !
I don't know what to do more and forums on other sites do no help either. I don't want to dirty my registry for fear of totally play my laptop.
HOW can I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I just got windows update and not only I have problems with the audio on my laptop but I can't play games on facebook either!
Hi Annetalla,
You can uninstall the current sound driver from Device Manager and restart the computer to load the generic driver and check if it makes a difference.
1. click on Start.
2. type devmgmt. msc in the search box start and press to enter.
3. right click on the speaker and select Uninstall.
4 restart the computer, and vista will load the generic drivers.
If an audio device on board, you will see the option in the BIOS. To do this, you need to read the manual that came with your computer or contact the manufacturer for this.

The application icon does not appear in iTunes
Hello
is it normal that the icon does not appear in iTunes when you upgrade the application Developer in there to test?
It only shows the app grey symbol.
Is that going to show when the application is modified by the app on distribution?
Thank you
Jill
In the meantime, I found the solution to my problem: when you download the assets, you have one which is optional (1024 x 1024 px).
It seems that one uses iTunes and I got one.
(Maybe they shouldn't make it optional, since you really need)

Hello. My Bookmark star icon does not read my favorites. I can always use it to record the new bookmarks, but I don't see the 'old'. My Favorites are still there, but the star remains white when I open them and shows them as not saved. Thanks in advance for any help!
Some added addons toolbar and anti-virus are known to cause
Firefox issues. Disable all of them.When the star is to check the Bookmarks Manager, he must control
all the entries in the file. It could be that the bookmark of the webpage has been deleted.
Or the sea address have changed. I'm not aware of entries to the
bookmarks being blocked, unless you have something blocking the changes. -
Speed dial installs, but the icon does not appear
I used speed dial for a long time, both on my desktop and my laptop, and I really like it. Recently, I got a new office and installed the latest version of Firefox. Everything seems to be working well, but when I try to add Speed Dial, it appears to install correctly, but the icon does not appear in the menu bar. I tried several times and each time I like Speed Dial will be installed after I restarted Firefox. However, by clicking on the button will restart FF, but the icon never appears! What goes wrong, and how can I get Speed Dial to work for me, as it has always done?
