You need to select which icons you want to show in the Notification Area. 1. Press the Windows Key, followed by the Escape key. This places focus on the Start button.
2. Press Alt + Enter to bring up the Taskbar Properties dialog. 3. Hit Tab until you hear Notification Area. If there is a checkbox for "Always show all Notifications and icons on the Task bar" uncheck it. 4. Hit Tab again to get to the Customize button. Press Space to activate. 5. Hit Tab to get to the list of Notification items. Each has a combo box on the right side. Simply use the up and down arrows for the different hide and show options. If you want it to always show up when pressing JAWS + F11, select "Show icon and notification". 6. Press Tab to get to the next item. When done, continue to press Tab to the OK button. Again, press Tab to the OK button. Now the notifications should work as expected! Additionally, you should not be bothered by notifications you do not want. Note, this does not disable or stop them from working. *Don Marang* Vinux Package Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> On 1/18/2012 4:37 PM, Trish wrote: > yep > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Pam Mahuika" <pmahu...@xtra.co.nz> > To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> > Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 2:56 PM > Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] System Tray Items > > > I have also found that sometimes not all items appear in the system tray and > a reboot seems to bring them back, most annoying. > > Pam Mahuika > Nelson > NEW ZEALAND > Skype: pam.mahuika > > -----Original Message----- > From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com > [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Trish > Sent: Thursday, 19 January 2012 4:10 a.m. > To: BCL > Subject: [Blind-Computing] System Tray Items > > This is just driving me batty here.
