    Just got a new computer with XP Home. My old computer had 98SE so I'm new to XP. In the System Tray, XP hides some of the programs that load on start up. I know if you click on the double arrow the hidden icons will appear and show you everything that's running. But, I don't like that - I like to be able to just look down there and see what's running. I've changed "desktop" and "start menu" to classic style but that hasn't changed the way the System Tray works. It's no biggee, but I thought maybe there's a setting somewhere where I could eliminate that "hiding" feature. Thanks Cliff

    Right-click a blank spot on the Task Bar, Properties. Uncheck "Hide Inactive Icons... ".
