Missing icons in taskbar

Bryan Shieh — Tue, 05 Nov 2002 03:24:07 GMT

The Safely Remove Hardware icon (along with the Power Meter) is not always available in the taskbar notification area even after I adjusted the setting to "always show" in the Customize Notifications. I am using Windows XP Pro on a Compaq Evo n610c.

Maybe you could turn off the "hide-inactive icons" button in the taskbar settings...

Sometimes the safely remove hardware icon may not appear if the hardware is not hot-pluggable. OR does this occur if you start your computer up from standby mode?

When I adjusted the setting to "always show" in the customize notifications area, that turned off the hide inactive icons under the taskbar settings. Thanks for the suggestion though.
