Actually this is something that should be addressed by Microsoft not the window-eyes team. The system tray has had this problem for years. If a program is closed buy ending the process then icons are left behind. Microsoft should like I said address this problem and remove phantom icons. Hth

However, WE on startup can clean up that stuff and make sure it manages the icons in the systray better.

Even if window-eyes is functioning properly. Having multiple icons in the system tray is a side effect of killing Window-eyes (or any other program) in this way. I have a download manager that I had to kill by using task manager and its icon was still in the tray.

I've been enjoying it. There is one issue I just noticed. Not as show-stopper, but, a curious thing anyway: I have noticed that, when pressing CTRL+ALT+w, to re-launch Window-Eyes, I then find Window-Eyes listed more than once in the System tray. Even if I exit Window-Eyes and use another screen reader, Window-Eyes still shows up a few times in the system tray. Of course, I can't do anything wwith it, but, it was a little disconcerting wwhen I noticed it. Th! anks! What's the best work-around for this? Thanks!
