Systray icon gone after explorer restarts

Post by teknix1 »

Hi, I've been playing around with core temp lately but everytime windows explorer (on Windows XP Pro SP2) crashes and restarts the system tray icon disappears. The only way I found to get it to come back is to close the process and reload the program.

Any chance this could be fixed?

Thanks
Nic

When explorer crashes, many programs loose their icons. It is a problem with your operating system, not Core Temp.
It'd be a bit hard to "reactivate" them, there's no way that I know of to tell if the icons are still there or not.

I totally agree, as a software developer I tried writing my own program to revive such icons. Unfortunately there are no available APIs or anything to get the list of icons and processes attached. I've noticed that many programs are able to recover their icons in the system tray when explorer crashes, so this leads me to believe that perhaps there is another way of hooking the systray icon which would not suffer from this problem.

Which language is this utility written in? Perhaps I can find a solution.

Thanks
Nic

Actually, I was wrong. There is a way of listing icons. Perhaps this can help.

To be completely honest, I don't have the time to invest in "solving" this, as this is the first time I can remember anyone mentioning this issue.

Why would Explorer crash anyway?

As a workaround I may add a Hot-Key so you can press it to show Core Temp. That way you can close it easily.

Sounds good to me if it's not going to be a priority anyways. I will most likely research this on my end. If I ever come up with a solution, I will post.
