Default System tray in Windows?

OK, what's happened to my system tray icon? I downloaded FrostWire 4.10.9 beta, and now the icon's gone... Since I have it set to hide in the tray when I minimize/close it, this is kinda annoying... As a workaround, I can just restart FW, and it loads my current session, but I'd still like to be able to see my tray icon, both for convenience and for the face that to exit FW I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del it.

Put your mouse on the bar in the bottom. beside the system tray.

Click Properties.

There's a button called Customize, click it. Then go to FrostWire and set it to "Always Show"

Say what? I have no idea where you're talking about... lol

What bar are you talking about? The taskbar? There's no option for FrostWire in the taskbar... Please be more specific.

Nope, still a no-go...

[Edit] Just checked, as far as Windows is concerned, FrostWire is a "Past program", not a current one, so apparantly, it's not creating a tray icon for some reason... Not a problem with Windows settings, comething with FW. [/Edit]

You need to have FrostWire opened.

I do *not* like LimeWire... Don't ask why, I couldn't specify a reason, I just prefer FrostWire... And it started when I installed FW 4.10.9 beta... I guess I'll try uninstalling it and reinstalling it, hopefully that works.

How about trying to delete the FW preferences whilst FW is CLOSED; instructions How to delete your FrostWire Preferences folder

It may or may not have an effect but worth trying. BTW do you have your FW set for closing down to the tray?
