Many times, not always, on startup I get message r2:
"Error reading TrayIcon1 ->visible: cannot create System shell notify icon"
I think this applies to the icon for my wireless keyboard, which normally shows in the tray, indicating Caps Lock, etc.

I'm on XP2, and it's an HP wireless keyboard.  Any thoughts?

It could be due to a problem with your HP keyboard software, so try removing and reinstalling that as the first option.

It could also be due to conflicts with other programs during startup.

Windows is prone to startup problems as it tries to launch everything that is set to launch, when you first switch on, at the same time.

I recommend using Startup Delayer which gives you control over the order that programs launch and also over the order they start. By introducing a one or two second delay between programs starting, and over, say 30 seconds, what was taking several minutes to happen is reduced to 30 seconds.

Get Startup Delayer (free) from here: http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay
