Restoring icons after an explorer crash

by seoulsux Jul 6, 2007 5:38AM PDT

Hi. My explorer crash then restarted but not all the icons restarted when it did. The processes they are running are still running, it's just that I can't see the icons in the taskbar. I've tried taking off the hide inactive icons in the taskbar and start menu properties taskbar, but they still don't show up. I'm mostly needing to get my bitcomet client to show up. I want to stop some task so I can start others. I guess I can always restart or log off, but I was hoping there'd be a way that I can do this without having to resort to that. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

seoulsux, Go to the link below and under the letter "N" scroll down to "Notification Area - Icons Disappearing" where you'll find a possible solution.
