    After installing Acronis Security Suite, it placed an icon in the Taskbar. However, I also noticed that at the same time it moved my Intel Wireless Pro taskbar icon to the "previous items" section in the taskbar prefs. I cannot figure out how to get the icon out of the "previous items" into "current items" section so I can see this icon again on my status bar. And, why the heck would their software do that?!?!? I'm assuming this is pretty simple, but anyone know how to get my icon back :confused:

    have you tried rebooting? I've had my wireless icon disappear before, but once I reboot, it normally comes back. I believe it moves automatically to the current items once it is appearing on the taskbar again.

    Right click on your taskbar and click on "properties." Next to the check box labeled "Hide inactive icons", click "Customize..." In the dialog that comes up, go to your wireless program's icon and select "Always show" from the drop down box. Or you can merely disable the icon-hiding feature altogether by clearing the "Hide inactive icons" check box in the previous window.
