Right now I've reinstalled Classic Shell, and even more icons disappeared on startup - Windows Volume icon, Internet Connection Icon, Skype, DAEMON, Realtek Audio Manager, Logitech Software... Rebooted without Classic Shell in startup - all is there... *sigh*. Checking PM now... |

After that, DAEMON and Skype icons disappeared on startup again . DAEMON doesn't even launch anymore, Skype launches, but its tray icon is missing .... |

Just a heads up - I've tested older version of DAEMON Tools (4.35) - same problem. And CS doesn't just prevent tray icon from showing up, it prevents DAEMON Tools from launching on startup at all.  I guess problem runs pretty deep. Maybe some system driver issues or something. |

I am sorry, previous claim was false - it was just a coincidence where it appears that DAEMON Tools has loaded before Classic Shell. I tried it again with default settings, and it failed to load again.
But just to be sure I am adding the settings file. |
