Notification Area Query!

[Jamesreeves_2007]

Every time I boot my Thinkpad running XP SP3, it varies on which notification area icons it wants to load up each time. Sometimes I only get the wireless and diskeeper utilities come up and sometimes It will load a lot more. All services should be there, as they are always running from login and when I close explorer and re open it, 9 times out of 10 they all appear (about 10) does anyone know why?

Sometimes the .NET frameworks (usually 3.5) really slow down startup time with XP. Try uninstalling all the .NET Frameworks and reinstall them from Windows update.

It's not something simple like the extra icons being in the hidden area of the system tray is it?
