Thank you for your reply but it's not what I need. I get and have all of my
system tray icons. My problem is the feature that turns the "hide inactive
icons" on & off does not work. I don't have the little arrow that hides them
or shows them. Tay are there but they do not hide when inactive and someone
stole the litttle arrow.

Rich,

I don't know what or how it happened but it all came back. All I did was go
to one of your websites and browse a little and the arrow that shows and
hides the icons appeared? Very strange but thanks a million.
