Just put xp-pro (sp1) in a friends computer (Gateway 1.2 gig AMD Athlon
256MB RAM) and only a random amount of icons show up in the task tray when I
reboot (sometimes none at all). The programs are running (checked the task
manager) the icons just don't show up.

I can fix it by starting up using the 'classic logon' and waiting about 10
seconds after I see the password window (for the computer to catch up?) then
canceling the password window. If I use the 'welcome screen' logon method,
the computer seems to to boot-up to fast to put them in the tray (I think).

Anyone know how to fix this problem so I can boot-up without having to use
the 'classic logon' and waiting?
