Hi Norma; Check the box " hide inactive icons ", tab 1 time and press space bar / enter on " notification area customize button ". The " hide inactive icons " box has to be checked or the " notification area customize button " won't appear. Hope this helps. Take care. Mike, It's tax time!

Hi Mike, I'm running Win XP Home and I do not see the notification area customize dialogue. The only features I have for notification area are show the clock and hide inactive icons. Can you provide further directions?
