Worst solution ever? Everyone knows that kills off some system tray icons too and you'd have to restart those programs as well to get it appearing again in the tray.

No it doesn't. What kind of applications are these?

It's not uncommon for programs to fail to re-add their icons if Explorer crashes.

Um... I've had plenty of system tray icons get lost any time explorer crashes. It's a moot point anyways, because I already gave you guys a solution that doesn't involve killing explorer or rebooting and thus far far simpler.

This happens from time to time. Just Shift+RightClick the button to bring up the classic context menu and then click away. It'll fix itself. No need to kill explorer or reboot or anything drastic like that.

Thank you That solved this annoying bug.

Its quite astonishing that Microsoft hasn't been able to provide a fix. Windows 7 were released over a year ago.

Haven't noticed such a thing.The only close 'bug' I have noticed since day one of Windows 7 is when you have more than one instance of an application open and hovering the mouse over between the application's task bar buttons doesn't look smooth, no fade-ins/outs.

I get it from time to time.

Usually just clicking the tab removes it.

Whenever it happens, shift + right click on entry on the taskbar (so the old context menu comes up) and then click elsewhere so the menu closes and the hover effect will correct itself.

I have created this account to say THANK YOU!

(happens for me mostly when connecting and disconnecting through Remote Desktop, had it happen on Vista, 2008 Server, 7 and 2008 Server R2)

You'll be surprised to know that this bug has managed to creep its way into Windows 8 as well. And I am talking about Windows 8 Release Preview Build 8400.

......Jesus.

Crazy how this still is not fixed even in Win8 RTM.

ugh!

[PiMPiN]

I've had it happen too, just figured it was Microsoft's Desktop Window Manager eating all my video resources again, lol

If you mean that if you take your mouse on a program open and then off it and then it stands like you has the mouse on it but not have so just Hold RSHIFT+RIGHT-CLICK the program so has been stuck and then it be fixed and it has to get that bug later if you has a slow computer and opens programs so need more of ur computer (like smart notebook v. x) so it makes ur computer to bug that so just do this!
It worked for me
Please reply if this worked!
