| | FolderShare Icon in the Task Bar I am using FolderShare 14.0.1331.0415 on Windows XP SP2. The icon in the Task Bar in the lower right keeps on disappearing on me and there appears to be no other way of determining whether or not FolderShare is up and running. How can I get to it when it disappears off the task bar to see if it is in fact running? Thanks. Doug |

Thanks. answer is then to kill (End Process) the program using Task Manager and to restart FS so that its icon becomes visible in the system tray. If the icon is not visible in the system tray you have no access to the information that the color or animation of the icon tells or access to its tabs with the reports and options that those tabs make available. You may decide to upgrade to the later version 14.0.1383.0530, although I don't know this makes the appearance of the system tray icon more reliable. Tony |

There is no listing for Foldershare in the Programs listing and it only starts as part of the start up routine, as far as I know. Thanks. DGD |
