Attention all MVP's at this newsgroup! This KNOWN AND REPORTED BUG has
been in existence for WELL OVER 2 YEARS, and:
1. IT STILL EXISTS!
2. THERE IS STILL NO KB ARTICLE ON IT!
This bug is present in my brand spankin' new IBM ThinkPad T43 laptop
which just arrived in a sealed box from the factory with Win XP Pro SP2
installed.
Please note in the above linked thread at this newsgroup, message #40
from Microsoft's own Online Support Professional, Steven Liu, in which
he clearly states: "I have re-produce the bug"!!!, and yet nothing has
been done to date.
Symptom:
You open the Windows Task Manager, but sometimes the icon doesn't
appear in the system tray (notification area) down by the clock on the
Taskbar. In order to get the icon to appear, it is sometimes necessary
to close and reopen Task Manager several dozen times.
Cause:
This is a known bug in Windows XP, however it only rears its ugly head
when using Windows Classic. In other words, if you go to the Display
Properties control panel, then to the Appearance tab, on a new install
you will see under Windows and buttons: Windows XP style. If you
change that setting to: Windows Classic style, then this bug shows up.
This raises another question:
How are we supposed to report bugs and/or create KB articles? I have
been told that the mswish program is only for requested improvements &
enhancements. There appears to be no simple and obvious way for users
to submit bug reports or initiate KB articles.
????????????????
Please expedite getting this bug into the KB and getting a hotfix for
it.
