Windows 7 Notification area group

My Notification area icons are currently the display on a single line (see below).

I'd rather have them grouped together (such as default, Windows Installer) so that only a few icons, and the rest of the icons are accessible by clicking on a disclosure triangle on the left side of the notification bar.
Does anyone know the setting to change a single line of the default behavior for pooled things?
Thanks for your help.

Try this:

Right click on the date / time-> click Properties.
You see the following dialog box:
Click Customize notification icons.
Once you do this, you can find a set of options like this:
Remove the tick (disable) presents the option down, always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar , and then click Ok. This should hide all icons and display a set of icons, as configured in the properties.

  • 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

    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.

    Hello

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    I am running Windows Ultimate 32 bit. I have a quick notification window pop up frequently, and it is just an unreadable flash on the taskbar notification area.
