Having all the icons visible all the time can be helpful too just in case something sneaks into your startup programs without your knowledge. Next, click “OK” to close the “Taskbar and Navigation properties” box. Next, to make all the icons visible in the notification area, near the bottom, place a checkmark in the box “Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar” and then click “OK” at the bottom to save your changes. Obviously, most of us want things like the “power” (for laptops), “network” and volume icons to be visible and giving us notifications all the time and you should also make sure your antivirus icon appears and you are receiving notifications from it as well. If you cannot make changes, remove the checkmark from the box at the bottom-left of “Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar.” Use the drop-down box to the right to make your selections. In Windows 8, (Windows 7 will be very similar), open your Control Panel and then click “Taskbar and Navigation.” In the Taskbar and Navigation properties box, click the “Customize” button, which is to the right of “Notification area.” A window will open a listing of all the items displayed in your notification area.įirst, go through the list and determine what icons you want to appear and which ones you want to provide notifications. Here’s an easy way to manage your notification area.
Some of these icons are for system functions, but some of them are for programs and applications. You may have noticed that down in your taskbar on the right side, more and more notification icons continue to appear.
