Missing icons in notification area

Hello. Just started having a small problem with icons not showing in the notification area. The programs are running (or so Task Manager tells me), but I am unable to open a program that does not show its icon.

One program is SUPERAntiSpyware. I have it set to run a scan each night and I usually click on the icon the notification area to see results. Also use Karen's Replicator to backup some data each night.

The question is how do I get these icons back in place?

Thanks for any ideas and/or solutions.

Have you cutomized icon notification area yet??

Thanks for the quick reply.

Jacee - I don't want it pinned to the taskbar, I want in the notification area (next to the clock).

gaz - Yes. I clicked to show icons and notifications. No joy.

Jacee - The ONLY icon I have is in C:\Win 7\Program Files. There is nothing showing in the taskbar or anywhere else. The task manager/processor show the programs as running. The startup folder has the icons showing they are to start on boot up. Also WinPatrol shows both programs in it's start up folder.

I can't drag icons from the taskbar to the notification area, nor the other way either.

I am going to try the "reset" of the notification area next. Will let you know later.
