Hi Al,

 

Would you please take a screen shot when the issue happens for further investigation?

Thank you in advance and look forward your reply.

One time after closing the program window icon SD remained in the left side of the taskbar too, with other applications icon fixed on taskbar.

Usually the problem occurs in the same way of Dazman76 screenshot

I think there could be a problem with UAC

I have Windows-7 64bit and I presently have both the Smart-defrag and ASC icons in the Sysyem-tray. They've been there for months with no problems.

I can't remember how I got them there but I do know that I did Not drag&drop created shortcuts to do it, so it must have been done at install.

 

I'm posting this to just let you know that it does work, at least sometime.

 

The problem may be with the way your System-Security is configured. W-7 may see them as an Unknow Threat and removes them.

On mine, the shield was added to the Icons, indicating that they have been 'Okayed'.

So, I would check the Security-Essentials default settings.

trayicon fix, check this out

 

Hi,

 

I had the same problem that the smartdefrag icon was not visible after startup on windows vista.

 

I experimented with the smartdefrag scheduled task, and found a fix.

 

The answer is as simple as to put a delay in starting up smart defrag after logon. This can be done in task scheduler.

 

workaround:

Only thing you have to do is "manually make a new task" for it, because smartdefrag automatically overwrites when you edit the existing task.

Also be sure to configure smartdefrag not to start up automatically

 

I made a new task with different name (example: smartdefrag_delayed)

 

In the task (copy of original smartdefrag task) I renamed it to new name, went to trigger settings and put a delay of 15 minutes in it.

Be sure to put "run at highest privileges" too.

 

Now after reboot, and after about 15 minutes smartdefrag icon is always visible :-)

 

Spread the news, and please put this 'necessary' delay in the code of smartdefrag schedule for future releases.

 

great tool, really like it !!

 

P.S. I also posted a "smartdefrag tray icon fix" entry, with more details in it.
