Hi everyone

I have XP Pro SP2 and noticed recently that my MSN Messenger icon wasn't
shown in the notification area. The arrow head in the circle doesn't show
either. I've been into Properties of the Taskbar and unticked Hide inactive
icons, rebooted and then re-ticked it prior to rebooting, with no effect.
All of the icons are set to Hide when inactive so I tried changing MSN to
Show always - it didn't show after a reboot!

The only thing that I've done recenty is to install the MSN toolbar which
I've had before without any problems on this laptop before I reinstalled the
OS from the recovery disc.

Any ideas - could it be a setting in the Registry that's been changed by
something or is there some other cause of this behaviour?

Thanks for your time and patience.
