Taskbar notification area overview
The notification area of the taskbar is where you usually see the current
time displayed. This area can become crowded with notification icons that
appear when certain events occur, such as when you receive e-mail or when
you open Task Manager. Windows displays a notification icon when an event
occurs. After a short time, Windows puts the icon in the background to
simplify that area. You can access the icons that have been placed in the
background by clicking a button in the notification area.
In addition, you can customize the behavior of notification icons on the
Taskbar tab of the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box.
