SHELL NOTIFICATION
in [Windows XP Basics]

From: "DON HARDIE" <don on 9 Mar 2005 00:13 I just installed a new harddrive and transferred all my personal documents into it. When I start XP I get the message "Scheduled Agent - Cannot create shell notification icon." When I click on OK the message dissapears and everything seems to work as before. Is this a real problem and how can I get rid of this message? Don H
From: Colin Barnhorst on 9 Mar 2005 01:29 You do not say what edition of XP you are using. Is it Home or Pro and does it have Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 installed (or neither)? The reason I ask is that I did a knowledgebase search on the phrase "cannot create shell notification icon" and one of the few documents that showed up was http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;811113 which is the incredibly long list of fixes in Service Pack 2. If you have not yet upgraded to SP2 I recommend that you do so and see if the problem persists. If you go to the link you will see why I did not exhaustively search through it. It is so long that after it loaded my vertical slider was only a quarter of an inch long. But somewhere on that list is the phrase "cannot create shell notification icon". (Adding "Scheduled Agent - " only pulled up one document and it was the same kind of list but for one of the Windows 2000 service packs.) -- Colin Barnhorst [MVP Windows - Virtual Machine] (Reply to the group only unless otherwise requested) "DON HARDIE" <don hardie(a)iprimus.com.au> wrote in message news:usfUIbGJFHA.2928(a)TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... >I just installed a new harddrive and transferred all my personal documents > into it.

From: "DON HARDIE" <don on 9 Mar 2005 23:11 Colin I am using XP Pro with Service Pack 1, but since I posted the query I have started my computer 3 times and the message has not come up. I will wait and see if it happens again and let you know.

From: Colin Barnhorst on 9 Mar 2005 23:30 You might start a new thread when you do. In the meantime you should install Service Pack 2. It is not just a bug fix and roll-up service pack. This time they recompiled most of the system files to enable some important new measures, such as Data Execution Prevention to keep hackers from injecting machine code into the cpu through a data stream. Some new software is already requiring SP2. Not much yet, but its coming. -- Colin Barnhorst [MVP Windows - Virtual Machine] (Reply to the group only unless otherwise requested) "DON HARDIE" <don hardie(a)iprimus.com.au> wrote in message news:eKMpPdSJFHA.576(a)TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... > Colin > > I am using XP Pro with Service Pack 1, but since I posted the query I have > started my computer 3 times and the message has not come up.
