Hi, we have a computer that occasionally while someone is using it the
systray icons and background processes become floating windows. I am
baffled by where to begin to troubleshoot. What might cause this
error?

PS. I've switched out the keyboard and mouse. It still happens.

Thanks,
Brad
 
Are you sure it's the system tray (aka notification area) and not a
toolbar? Any Taskbar toolbar can be dragged onto the desktop.
 
Yes, things like Acrotray.exe and spoolsvc.exe become windows...  Very
strange.

Use up to date anti-virus / anti-spyware tools. Make sure your system
is "clean" of these "pest" style softwares.
