Hey all,

My wife and I have a small annoying problem.
We have the same exact hardware.

Specs.

Win XP Pro Svc. Pk 2 up to date as of  2-17-07
Custom Build
1-gig Ram
2.4ghz Intel Cpu
Geforce 4 w/128meg ram

It seems that when we reboot some of the system tray icons (bottom 
right corner) don't show up!
The icons that don't show up are actually running as I check for the 
processes that are running and everything is running normal like.
It's just the icons of some just don't show for some reason. 
Sometimes it can take several reboots to get everything to show up, 
which I think is a waste.
It sometimes gets real annoying because some of the icons we use to 
access (right click on them) the programs with. So it forces me to go 
find the folder and access them that way. So if someone can suggest 
something it would be nice so I can get access to these programs from 
the system tray.

I have tried several things like using Tweakui to repair icons, tried 
several 3rd party software to organize startup programs but to no avail.
It seems to be a glitch in XP or maybe an update is causing the 
problem. This has been going on for quite a while, to the point I 
just live with it.
But my wife is having the same problem and she gets more annoyed than 
I do. The wife runs a lot of different software than I do, so I'm 
confused because if we ran the same exact software than I would more 
likely blame a third party program. At this point I've ran out of 
patience and idea's.

So if anyone has any ideas please let me know!

Thanks

Brad Feuerhelm
