Will check PM out ASAP. Right now I've reinstalled Classic Shell, and even more icons disappeared on startup - Windows Volume icon, Internet Connection Icon, Skype, DAEMON, Realtek Audio Manager, Logitech Software...

It worked on my comps for a while, but then Steam icon disappeared. I had to delete my icon cache to restore it (icon.db file or whatever it's called). After that, DAEMON and Skype icons disappeared on startup again . DAEMON doesn't even launch anymore, Skype launches, but its tray icon is missing ....

Just a heads up - I've tested older version of DAEMON Tools (4.35) - same problem. And CS doesn't just prevent tray icon from showing up, it prevents DAEMON Tools from launching on startup at all. :o I guess problem runs pretty deep. Maybe some system driver issues or something.

I am sorry, previous claim was false - it was just a coincidence where it appears that DAEMON Tools has loaded before Classic Shell. I tried it again with default settings, and it failed to load again.

But just to be sure I am adding the settings file.
