Default Unknown Icon In Notification Area of 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.

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

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
