I am using Win2000 SP4 with an intellipoint mouse.
My current mouse is a replacement. When I replaced it, the new mouse
came with Intellipoint (5.0 I think), which placed a icon in the tray
after installation.
At some point I selected the menu item to "hide this icon" or "remove
from tray" or words to that effect, under the not unreasonable
presumption that there was a setting somewhere that I could use to get
it back if I wanted it.
Although the icon doesn't appear in the tray, point32.exe is still among
the running tasks, including after a reboot.
How can I restore or unhide the tray icon?
The control panel applet has a number of tabs, but none of them seem to
contain a checkbox for showing/hiding the tray icon, nor do any of the
tab labels seem more than remotely appropriate as a place to put one
(the tab labels are Buttons, Pointers, Motion, Hardware, Activities, and
Scrolling).
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Intellipoint, both from the CD
that came with the mouse and a more up-to-date one I found searching the
Microsoft site, which I had used to update the installed point32.exe.
Neither action restored the tray icon.
I suppose it is not an urgent matter, but if anyone knows how to do
this, I would greatly appreciate if you would reply to this via email.
