exeng: That's exactly what i was trying to say - if I right click the icomn, click "Exit" all it does is close down the "Tray Manager" but the actual program(me) still seems to be running and will not let me do what I need - because that's what it's there for.
SD, you mean disable in the start menu, then restart the entire machine?
Hmmm, I'm not very confident in there, I have a pop up sign that says "Here be monsters" (exageration - but you get my drift).
Disable, restart, do the deed(s), re-enable, restart?
Sounds a bit industrial - but still better than my sledgehammer, I suppose.
Any other thoughts before I go to see the monsters?
Stevef: our messages crossed, I'll go try that (comfort zone higher).
