death pax Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) This isnt completely for auto it, rather a problem i discover when i was working on a script. I was creating a script with a TrayIcon. The first time i tried it, everything worked fine. But yesterday when i ran the same script again, i discovered that my notification area is gone. No tray icons from any progs, only the current time. Anyone have any ideas? Also in the Taskbar/startmenu properties where you would normally set properties of the notification area is greyed out Edit: Also, on another user account on my comp, the notification area works fine.

this-is-me Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Does the clock still show up? If not, you may have enabled two monitors in display properties and allowed the desktop to extend to the second monitor. In this case the tray would be there, but offscreen on the right. Who else would I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death pax Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) Ill upload a screenshot quick...http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/death_pax/screen.jpgMSN, an auto it script, my internet connection, and my battery life icon should be in the notification area, at bare minimum Edited September 10, 2006 by death pax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it doesn't show up...

Valik Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Either of these two links should help, probably the first one:http://windowsxp.mvps.org/traynotify.htmhttp://windowsxp.mvps.org/trayicons.htmBy the way, those links were easy to find. I used the search phrases:notification area icons missinghide inactive icons greyed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death pax Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 valik was correct.. i should have guessed it was the windows policies... but it makes me wonder what caused them to be that way to begin with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
