Re: Notification Icons - Reset

Hi Silverhair,

Did you do step 9 and step 10 afterwards, and not just step 10?

I'm not sure what you mean by the rest having yellow folders. Could you post a screenshot to help see what may be going on?

Your welcome silverhair. I'm happy to hear that they are gone now.

I had added step 10 since sometimes restarting explorer.exe does not always reset them alone. I'm glad you did not have to.

Re: Notification Icons - Reset

Hey Shawn,

Is there a way to reset the drop down list for say the desktop background?

Re: Notification Icons - Reset

Hello,

Under Method Three | The Manual Way, when I get to step 6, I don’t have any of those options in the right pane of the window. The only one that appears is (Default) (see attached image). How do I get the rest of them to appear?

By the way, I assumed that I was supposed to skip over Step 5 (To Disable the System Icons) and go straight to Step 6 (To Enable the System Icons), since I only want to enable all of my system icons.

Being unable to continue through the Manual Way, I tried Through a Download, following the steps for the Power icon. However, upon following through and then logging off and on, my battery icon remains grayed under the Notification Area tab of Taskbar and Menu Properties.

Regards,

JMT
