Unknown Icon In Notification Area of Taskbar?
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. "Dennis" wrote in message ... There is an untitled icon always present in the notification area of my taskbar.

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. --Dennis-- "Curious" wrote in message ...

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

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. -- Zaphod Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster: A cocktail based on Janx Spirit.

Is it possible that the ICON is in the quick start area on the left end of
the task bar and not in the notification area on the right end of the task bar? If yes then you should be able to right click on it an delete it. "Dennis" wrote in message ...

if it is indeed an onscreen display for the keyboard, try the keyboard
options in control panel to see if that notification can be turned on or off; if the K/B has no led's to indicate Caps/Num or Scroll lock, that onscreen feed-back may the be the only way you will know if those keys are on.
