my START button

alt+f4

 

next time try Ctrl+Alt+Del and select the Task Manager

Click the Processes tab and find explorer.exe

Highlight explorer.exe and click End Process.

Then in the Task Manager go up to File and select New Task (Run...)

Type in Explorer.exe there and it should fix your problem.

Basically what I just said is kill the explorer program and restart it.

 

Do all this, which knocks out everything in your system tray. Then reboot.

Oh, and C-A-D doesn't work on his PC.

 

oooh you can't see the volume icon.

And why doesn't C-A-D work? I don't remember seeing him type that... lemme reread.

EDIT- Nevermind.

 

I don't know what Solarte's got in his tray, but I've got 16 items in mine.

 

geez dude... you should kill some of that... do you not realize how much memory you're wasting? I've got 4

 

I have 512MB of RAM. No worries.

 

I have 1536, and I still do it. Why WASTE memory? No it might not be needed this second, but save it up for something useful. What good does having AOL IM in you system tray on Start up really do you?

 

I've got everything there that I use: camera control, printer control, SAV, Microsoft Antispyware, Outlook, network connections, volume control. Can't remember anything else right now, but none of it's wasted.
