There is an untitled icon always present in the notification area of my
taskbar. This Icon appears to be a locked padlock with the number 9 on it.
When I pass my cursor over it no title or description appears and nothing
appears to happen when I right click, left click or double click on it. I
have searched the help files and browsed Windows Explorer looking for a file
with such an icon and have not found any. My hunch is that icon must be
related to some security feature. I am using McAfee antivirus. If anyone
could help identify this icon it sure would be great.

Thanks,
Dennis

Go to Control Panel/notification area icons and determine what it is and
then you can turn it off if you want.

Thank you for your reply, Curios. I did as you suggested and I could not
find the icon in the notification area in Control Panel. I also used
Advanced Search in Windows Explorer for all "ico" or "icon" files to no
avail. Oh, and curiously the same icon appears on the top edge of my
keyboard. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Studio XPS
435MT.

Curious, excuse me I got my reply to you wrong. The icon IS in the
notification area but there is no title or any indication of what it is for.
I have noticed that a similar icon with an "A" on it appears next to it when
my caps lock key is on so, maybe it has something to do with my keyboard.
Unfortunately, no information came with the keyboard.

Those appear to be indicators to tell you that your keyboard's
NumLock, CapsLock, and probably also ScrollLock are on. I've never
seen these with a standard keyboard, so I suspect you have a fancy
keyboard that requires special drivers, and somewhere in the setup for
the keyboard is a setting to turn them on or off. Look in your
control panel for a keyboard applet, and go from there. Or search the
website for your keyboard manufacturer for more info.

From what I can tell it sounds like a num lock icon, maybe you can try
cutting it off on your keyboard
