Apparently there is a system icon cache area in

That may solve the annoying screen refreshes I get when I close down
various folders.

Going back to the OP I have had successes with the system tray problem
(in general and not necessarily to do with wireless) sometimes by
running a script I found on the net called xp_pastitems.vbs and other
times by running the NTREGOPT.EXE routine that comes with the free
ERUNT registry backup program. Lots of hits in google for either
routine.

That was the same desktop icon stuff, not the system tray icon area.. I did
find part of an old post in one of my email folders..and that also has to do
with what jeff said about PNP...

Ok, "fixed" means go to www.grc.com, download UNPNP.EXE and disable the
system service. That's it!!!

I've got the same or at least a similar Problem. My Icons in the sytem tray
are gone
if I start Win XP. (This has nothing to do with the "hide/show icons"
function in
XP.) The funny thing is: If i log of (no restart) and log on again, all
icons are
back. Also by killing the apps with Windows Task Manager and restarting
them, the
icons return. I already tried changing icon-cache settings, rebuilding icon
cache
and that sort of stuff.
