Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>basics (more info?)

I'm disabled vet and spend quite a bit of time at the computer. But I have
had this (very annoying) problem for a long time and I just don't know how
to cure it!

I have a few programs that always run in my task bar (A/virus/e-mail caller
id and more) one of the programs I have running is Spambutcher.

Every once in a while, for no reason (that I can see) Spambutcher will
minimize itself to the task bar. When that happens, I have to close
spambutcher and reopen it again so only the icon appears in the taskbar.
After a while, it'll re-minimize itself.

Anyone have any ideas why this happens?

Thank you!

Have you contacted the company at support DeleteThis @spambutcher.com? Your issue does
not appear in the FAQ's at http://www.spambutcher.com/support.html, so I
suggest you email them. This does not appear to be an XP issue.

I have never tried that application, but microsoft has released a free
antispyware program that works ok.

http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

There is a choice to validate your windows, if you do not wish to do it,
you can select the "No, do not validate Windows at this time, but take me to
the download." option.
