• How to remove particular notification area icons?

  Hello

  I would like to ask your help how to remove particular notification area icons (Windows 7 Professional). I mean, this isn't just 'Show' or 'hide '.

  For example, I want to delete VLC Media Player and Microsoft Office OneNote in the list.

  In addition, I don't want to restore the system icons, because all the icons will be removed.

  Thanks a lot if you could provide solutions step by step.

  You just want to remove the icons, or you want to stop the
  programs icons are to run in the background?
   
  If you just want to remove the icons, but keep the programs running,
  You should check the programs themselves to see if they offer
  you have this option. But if you want to stop background programs
  start automatic and running, read the following:
   
  First of all, note that you should be in * all * programs that
  starts automatically, not only those who enter the system tray
  (notification area). Show not all auto-start programs
  themselves by an icon in the status bar.
   
  On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
  Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
  Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
  Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
  work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
  Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.
   
  However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
  the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
  you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs
  you run, but * that *. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
  others have no effect on performance.
   
  Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
  is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
  the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
  Internet search and ask questions about the details here.
   
  Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
  decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

• On 3 levels notification area icons, not one

  Suddenly, the notification area icons have been changed a line at the bottom of the screen to 3 levels, thus shortening the screen. I tried dragging them to the original format using the arrow cursor/up-and-to the bottom, but nothing would move.  I have windows XP sp3

  The task bar are now resized.  In addition to on three levels notification area icons, I noticed later sections of divider taskbar [thin line of vertical points between the 'missions'] were on 2 levels, instead of one.
  I was able to drag the low divider to the same level as that of top, [including the task].

  Then and only then, [for a reason any] did the arrow cursor/double head decide to work on the upper part of the task bar and I was able to resize.  However, I have left clicked on the mouse to drag, not right click.  Previously, I had clicked left and right click, but nothing has worked.  Now, I've locked the taskbar, so that I won't in the future.

  Your help is appreciated.

• Notification area: icons are invisible (NOT the system icons)

  Was fine when I went to bed last night. Computer did an automatic stop (no windows update). Started this morning and the notification area icons are invisible. The space of each icon is still there because I can mouseover a vacuum arises space and text for each icon.

  I tried the regedit fix, but that is really intended for people who cannot see their system icons. The icons of my clock, volume, network and battery are still visible, but no other icons are. Restarted several times, started in safe mode and windows theme switched from classic to vista. I can't find an answer to this problem.

  When I restart windows, first 2 or 3 icons will begin to show, but then after that, for some reason, they disappear and no other icons appear. As I said, however, the actual processes are still running and I can even access. Just the icons are not visible.

  Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

• notification area icons change to "Show icon and notification. »

  For some reason, the "Windows Task Manager" notification icon continues to change its behavior.  I had put the behavior "Show icon and notification" to the Manager of the tasks, but when I right click on the taskbar and select "Start Task Manager", I get the up arrow icon icon rather than the Task Manager.  I go to the arrow and click on customize and change the behavior to return to "Show icon and notification.

  Is there a reason why it keeps changing to "display only notifications?

  Hi Artoo,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand from the description of the issue, your computer task manager notification icon continues to change.

  I appreciate if you could answer a few questions:

  1. What is the brand and model of your computer?

  2 have the Windows Task Manager before notification work?

  3. the question has started recently?

  The task manager has two different views. For the display that includes menus and tabs, double-click the border of the Task Manager window. To return to the view without menus and tabs, double-click anywhere in the border around the tabs.

  I suggest you follow this Microsoft article below which will help you to solve the problems of Task Manager, under article is also applicable to Windows 7:

• Why my icon has changed to an A on my Mac Dashboard and how to return the original?

  The Firefox icon (fox /earth), which has always been on my Mac Dashboard has changed to an 'A', composed of a ruler, pencil and brush. I don't know why. I would like to revert to the original. Why did happen and how can I go back. I use version 9.0.1 on a Mac with os x 10.6.8.

  Hi bitoruf,

  I've seen that happen periodically, but it is easy enough to fix. Simply remove the icon from your dock. Then re-create by dragging the Firefox icon in the doc from the applications folder.

  Hope this helps!
