[bcab] Re: Balloon: Updates are ready for your computer...

HI,

This kind of links in to a message that I think was on this list the
other day; If the update baloon thing doesn't always appear in the
system tray, it may be that the system tray properties are set to
'hide inactive icons'. Broadly speaking I guess this is a setting you
probably want for most things; on my PC for example this setting when
checked means I've not constantly got the message saying a 'cable is
unplugged' regarding the local area network; as the PC is normally*
connected via wireless to our network I don't necessarily want the
icon there all the time telling me what I already know visa the PC not
being hard wired into the LAN.
Of course I'm now trying to remember where to access this setting; I
think there is a show all type feature in contorl pannel/task bar and
start menu, though this may only apply to the task bar menu. Perhaps
someone else on this list can remember where this setting is, but
somewhere is a setting to individually change the 'hide when inactive'
setting for each individual running task; so for instance I have the
'hide when inactive' unchecked for JAWS,  AVD, my wireless adaptor and
a few other things which I find handy to have displayed all the time
in the systme tray, as I say I can't remember where this setting is
located now and I've just tried looking with no success thus far....
I'll have another look. The reason I mention this of course, is that
if set to 'hide when inactive' then I guess the update icon may
disappear from the system tray once its been sitting there unactivated
for a while...
