It is found in the Start Menu properties. Highlight the start button and
press ALT ENTER.

Hmmm ... I can't seem to find that checkbox anymore. I'll keep looking.

Thanks.

Under Windows 7

Greetings:

On my computer, I have set my notification area to show all icons all of the
time. When I want to check on one of them, I simply press either Windows B
or (for JAWS) Insert F11 to bring up the list of items, then focus on what I
want.

I suggest as a work around to show all icons in the notification area and
see if the behavior (problem) changes.

That is my best answer at this point.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong
