Since SP1 for Vista Ultimate, it seems the Hide/Hide when inactive/Show
setting are lost on occasion for certain Notification icons. Also there is
one icon that shows up that I have no idea whewre it comes from and I am
consequently unable to delete whatever program is generating it. It always
has the little red circle with the diagonal line through it.

Hover your cursor over it, and see what comes up in writing about it.
If nothing comes up, probably spyware.

You can also right-click on it to see what options it gives you.

Thanks. Nothing when hovering or right clicking. I run the normal gamut of
spyware detection programs and nothing has shown up for quite some time.
