Nice work Ken. Yep if not this one reappearing for sure it will be something else at some point. Are SSDP Discovery Service and UPnp Service still disabled?

In the interest of science :-) I re-enabled in manual mode first SSDP, rebooted, then UPnP, rebooted, and each time the service in question started and all the System Tray icons appeared, including OneCare.

My tentative conclusion is that it was the RPC logon issue that was causing the loading problem all along, but we'll see. If the loading problem recurs, I'll disable the UPnP and SSDP services, again, one by one.


Ok, I have seen systems where everything was fine then there was some change, new software or otherwise, and the icons not loading problem then shows up. So yes it could happen some time down the road. Thanks for posting back.
