Hi niteowl,
Thank you for your reply.
Based on my knowledge, there is no limit to the icons' amount in System
Tray. From your description, I suspect you have performed some steps with
third-party applications which corrupted registry keys. Please understand
that because of lack of necessarily resource and information about the
application, we totally have no idea of what exact registry keys have been
modified by it. For the sake of resolve this issue quickly and effectively,
I recommend you work with the third party vendor for assistance with this.
Please feel free to involve me during the process of contacting the third
party application support, I am glad to provide any information.
Additionally, as a workaround, you may perform a System Restore to be back
to the initial status or other correct state.
Note: if you have some important documents or files which are created after
the restore point, please copy them to My Document. As this, even if you
are back to the initial status, they are still remained in My Documents.
To restore your system to a previous state, we can use the following steps:
1. Before you start, please close all open files and close all open
programs.
2. Click "Start"; Click "Programs or All Programs"; Click "Accessories";
Click "System Tools"; Click "System Restore". The System Restore user
interface should appear.
3. Select "Restore my computer to an earlier time" and click "Next".
4. From the restore points available, select an appropriate restore point
when your system is working correctly and click "Next".
5. Click "Next" again. The restore process will run and your system will
restart automatically.
6. After restarting, check whether your system functions correctly now. If
not, you can undo your last restoration or select another restore point in
System Restore user interface.
