I did a clean install on my new dell and I have a couple hiccups I need to ask you about.

First off, when I hover over the time in the lower right hand corner, usually it should show you the date. Mine shows the date but it is behind the task bar. I see the top of the yellow box but can never read it.

2nd, I have almost all of my icons in the system tray hidden except for the volume one. Before I would hi the arrow button it would show them all and eventually close them all, now it shows them all until I ht the arrow the other direction.

Anyone know how to fix theses quirks?

I have XP pro with service pack 2 installed. Thanks in advance.

To hide the icons totally, you need to:

Right-click on the 'Taskbar', then 'Properties'
tick "Hide inactive icons'
click on the 'Customize' tab
Choose the icon you want to 'hide'

you have 3 choices: 1. Hide when inactive 2. Always hide 3. Always show
