Thanks Napho. I'll never run against you for that honor.
I'll look into it. I've used another tray manager that drove me crazy, and made explorer crazy.
I run and absolute tight ship with 98SE. My record is a 36 hrs session with Slsk w/out crashes, and right now rarely crashes. I have it lean, spartan, even franciscan. I start with selective start up, 94-96 % free resources, that should give you an idea how stripped down the system is.
So I'll look into it, if it doesn't make "lean & mean" unstable, the automatic restoration of icons make it a keeper.
This situation w/slsk is the first since the end of October when I installed it, so it may turn out to be just a freak happenstance.
There is some negative interaction between IE-Explorer and slsk when there are several connections open at the same time, but so far nothing unmanageable.
By the way, that last song took two sessions/days to get it, and it sucked big time.
Rather fitting, one could say.
PS: I still would like for Bill a healthy dose of pain and suffering, dough.
