| Guest | Customize Notification Icons: How to get settings to stick? Hi, One thing that didn't work in XP and doesn't work in Vista is customising how notification icons should be handled in the sys-tray. The problem isn't that it doesn't work initial+ly, it's just that after a reboot or two most of the settings are "forgotten" and I have to set it again in "Customise Notification Icons...". I have noticed that the setting stick for some programs and not for others whatever I do. I wonder if it could be because the program alters it's sys-tray icons properties slightly every time it starts making Windows not recognise it? One program that is impossible to set is Avira Premium Security Suite. Regardless of how I set it it's forgotten after next reboot or restart of the program. -- //ceed |

When a program has this option, it can sometimes override what you have selected in the Notification Area settings. Hope this helps, Shawn |
