Stan P.~JaPHA~<(__)~Cheerz		Yes, HOWEVER...If abruptly ended, more often then not I lose most of my taskbar icons that were in my system tray, usually the main program keeps running, but access to it via the tray icon it represents is lost, and not always does simply reloading the program bring the icon back some dont come back till other occurences occur to inhibit their return, such as rebooting windows... but usuall just a quick log-off and then reload windows is needed NOT USUALLY a full all out reboot of the macine...

no user		This is the user shell, which we see as the familiar taskbar, desktop, and so on. This process isn\'t as vital to the running of Windows as you might expect, and can be stopped (and restarted) from Task Manager, usually with no negative side effects on the system. 0 0 Report Abuse
