Vista - BUG: SystemTray's arrow (">") not loaded at startup

05-11-2007

Some times the SystemTray's arrow (">") is not loaded at startup and
connection icon is also absent in system tray. It seems there's a bug in
system tray that is not fully loaded.

The arrow only shows up when there are icons to hide AND you have selected
to hide notification area icons. It won't show up unless BOTH are true.

Hi Bill,

I agree with Richard. You might turn off the Hide icons if you don't like it.

Here's how if you don't already know :
1. right click taskbar or startbutton
2. click on properties
3. click on Notification Area tab
4. uncheck "Hide inactive icons"
5. click OK to apply

Hope this helps,
Shawn

You didn't understand me! Read what I've written!
THERE'S A BUG because SOMETIMES the ">" is not loaded at startup, but OF
COURSE when the bug doesn't appear I see the ">". And when the ">" is
missing, the connection icon in systray is also missing.

Did you double check and make sure that the Network was still checked in the taskbar properties in my above post?

If it is, you may need to check your settings and look for any problems in Network and Sharing Center in Control panel for your internet connection.
