I cannot get Taskbar Properties to Hide Inactive Icons in
the Notification Area.

I have tried :Right Click empty area on the Taskbar.
Select Properties. On the Taskbar tab, Check the Hide
Inactive Icons. It does not work.

I have run Enable/Disable Inactive Icons Script from
Kelly' Korner.

I still only have a straight vertical edge instead of the
moving two arrows. It does not hide any icons.

How many icons are needed before it hides icons? I have
12 at this time.

Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated
greatly.

Windows XP Home SP2.
