I've noticed that sometimes when TC is minimized in the system tray Windows XP is treating the icon as a hidden one without being able to check in a glance if it's already running. Is there a way (apart from making all icons visible) to change this behaviour? Is it an inability of WinXP to recognize the state of TC as active or is TC reporting this status back to Windows? Am I missing something here? Is there a workaround or a "hidden" to me tweak?
Thanks!

I found a solution actually. From the task bar's properties you have the ability to define the state of every individual icon apart from the generalized behaviour over active and inactive ones. I had forgotten about the existence of this tweak.
TC was marked as "hide when inactive". No I've made it "always visible".
Apparently under certain conditions TC is reported as inactive back to Windows and that is why I sometimes have its icon missing from the task bar!
Thanks anyway! Problem solved!

system tray icon changes state
When using multiple copies of Tm and have set all individual icons of TM in tasbasr properties to "always show" they chage their state back to hide when inactive after some time - HOW THAT ??
