| | Windows Sidebar Sys Tray Icon Changes To That Of Windows Defender(?)--Functionality Is Okay Vista Ultimate SP1+... On a couple occasions after turning Windows Sidebar off and later back on I've noticed its sys tray icon has changed to the same icon Windows Defender uses. After a warm boot Sidebar seems to sort itself out. Any rhyme or reason for this? ~<Susan>~ Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. - Charles Schultz |

The only problem remaining with the System Tray are old notifications from programs long removed that show because their respective developers didn't care to write decent uninstall programs. |
