Task Bar Icons Missing
 

Recently I'm noticing that each time a boot up XP Home Edition it decides
not to display certain icons in the task bar. The icons missing always seem
to change randomly. What's up with this? This only happens on my Dell
Inspirion 6000 never on my Dimension 8200 running XP PRO.

Right-click on blank area of task bar Properties Hide inactive
icons

I wouldn't worry about it. This is the XP 'hide when inactive' function for
the system tray. In my experience it is only somewhat to moderately
reliable, but isn't a functional problem so long as your system startup
isn't loaded with unneeded applications.

Had the same bug a year or so ago, sometimes the icons went missing, Its
irritating ,
Disabling SSDP Discovery Service cured it on my pc.
