So I somehow messed up system tray so it wont show stuff
« on: February 03, 2007, 11:54:25 am »
I cant see all of the icons in my system tray (battery, sound, cool stuff like that)

I have all of the settings set so that it really ought to show those things...ideas?  I've clicked the customize system tray icon/hide stuff...and set it to show the battery and I have also set it to show the battery in the battery settings.

If you create a new user on your computer, will it show for him?  If so, create a new user, move all your stuff over, and delete your old user. :)

Haha that's awesome. :)

I'm afraid I can't help you.  Maybe one of the Windowsy guys (Warrior? Mindy?) can help.

A better solution would be to figure out what exactly you injected into the shell that is breaking with NX and remove it.  A debugger might be the fastest way to find this; just look in the call stack for whatever was calling non-executable.

Alternatively, look for third-party things that like to load code into the shell which you might have installed recently; programs adding new context (right-click) menu options, search handlers, toolbars, etc.

In other news, you fucked it up. :)
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.
