is there a program such as a taskbar icons manager because my taskbar shows icons randomly, they are sometimes there on startup or they sometimes arent......they just seem to do what they like...

is there a reason they do this? it even happens to icons i have set to 'always show'

is there a program that would 'manage' my icons....

it is very annoying because when my computer does a schedulded virus scan or something like that..i cant see it.....

also, i cant see my graphics card which is set to show, or my volume settings which is also ment to be there...

any ideas?

thanks!

Sometimes, my icons do that too. I think it's just a bug in Windows.

is there a way to fix it, because i use them icons a lot

AFAIK there isn't. Sorry.

i found the problem...well a fix anyway...just incase anyone else searches and finds this here it is:

Right-click on My Computer
Click on Manage
Expand 'Services & Applications'
Highlight 'Services'
Look through list of services on the right....
Find Universal Plug & Play Device Host
Right-click on it.
Click properties.
Change startup type to 'Disabled'
Do exactly the same with 'SSDP discovery service'
Problem should be solved.

Cool. Thanks may73alliance. That's been annoying me for quite a while now.
