How can I find the source of notifications appear in the notification area of the taskbar? Recently I got something installed from microsoft and it keeps showing a message. It doesn't seem to be disappearing from there at all.

Well... it depends.\nSome programs like Sound cards driver and video drivers have a check in the advanced setup to enable or disable notification icon in taskbar.\n--DANGER--\nFor other programs you should go to the registry in\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Run\nor\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Run\nfind the software that you want to remove and delete the entry.\nDo it at your own risk!!!!!!!\n--DANGER--

It_girl92 is right. But you has forgotten something very important. Some people has this checkmarked and some does not.\nYou have to "RIGHT" click on the taskbar and now you should see the option "Lock the taskbar" if lock the taskbar is checkmarked please just click on it to remove the checkmark. Now that the checkmark is removed you can easily drag the taskbar back to the bottom as It_girl92 said.\n\nIf there wasnt any checkmark on the lock the taskbar you can just drag it.

Normally the icons are hidden by windows... you'll se a button with '<' on it... when you press it.. all the icons will reappear.\nIt is done by usage.

I fyour taskbar's been moved from the original location, you can move it back by right-clicking on any part of it which is tan & unchecking Lock the Toolbars.  Then you can move it wherever you wish.

Just right click on the bar where your see the windows minimized and click Task Manager, you will see the task manager easily. If not there has to be some problem with related files, try repairing the windows installation.

Do you mean the Task Manager in windows? Right click an empty space on the taskbar (the bar where the start button is) and click "Task Manager". Or if you use XP and it is set to the welcome screen then press Ctrl + Alt together then press Del on the keyboard. You will see the Task Manager appear or a window. If a window then just click "Task Manager" on that.

Windows ME is the worst windows ever made... Seriously. Are you sure it's solely the messenger's fault? I'd look for spyware and viruses as well... But you never know.

It was a piece of malware you had installed. Odds are something cleaned it up for you. Go to Tools, Manage Add-ons, and find any reference to it and set it to "disable". Also, Start - Run - msconfig - OK, go to Startup tab, look for anything else in there and uncheck it. When you reboot check the box that comes up and hit OK so you won't see it again.

for some questions this form of question and answer is unsuitable, a dialog would be more useful. ok anyway -\ntry the following (if not already done): right click on a free area on the desktop and select "arrange symbols" and then click "arrange automatically". this will place your desktop icons on a fix location. then try again to click on a icon - does it still disappear ?

Typically it is what thay call a software conflict, two or more activities are competing and this may freeze your screen. check your notification area in the lower right corner of your task bar and see what programs are there, some could be running in the background possibly causing the problem.

I don't know why this happens but I used to get the same notice long before I started using the Yahoo sites. I found that if I quickly unchecked the little box that says "microsoft will restart your computer" and then clicked the x in the corner of the box, nothing would happen and I could continue on. You have to be fast! I think it must be a virus though because I upgraded my security service, downloaded Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware from Lava Soft along with Yahoo's Anti-Spy which got rid of a lot of spyware, malware and viruses, and I haven't had the problem since.

From your description these are the icons at the bottom of the screen and just to the left of the clock. If this isn't  it, let me know.  Right click on the bar at the bottom and go to properties.  At the bottom of the of that little window you want to NOT CHECK the box called hide inactive icons.
