Brink, thanks for the reply. However I think the link you provide is
solving a different requirement. I realise that the system tray icon is a
temporary notification which Windows Mail (and Outlook Express) provides to
show that new unread mail is available. Over the years (with Outlook Express
and more recently with Windows Mail) I have got used to this notification
and I find it useful. However a few days ago I stopped getting the Windows
Mail notification icon on my Vista laptop, i.e.although there is new mail
for me to read, there is no icon - which is a change from how it has been
from when I first got Vista/Windows Mail up until a few days ago. I don't
know what I did to lose the icon - but my question is how do I get back to
the way that it was?
Regards
Don
