    Hotkey temporary appearance in taskbar on initial booting?


    When windows7 is initially booted, I get a "hotkey" icon appearing in my taskbar. It is there for a short time and then disappears.

    I know you are stating the hotkey appears in the taskbar, but is it in the notification area or the left side by the "Start Orb", as a pinned object?

    Appears for about 20-30 seconds as a pinned object.

    I have a similar problem, but it is associated with the Notification icons. The only thing that comes to mind is a newly installed program; have you recently installed any new software?

    About a month or two ago I did install a new printer with its software. However, I think that the hotkey issue has been going on for longer than that.

    Any idea why this icon briefly appears? I guess I can live with it, if I must, but certainly would be happier if I could get rid of it as long as I am not confounding any related processes.

Several times already, for no reason some program icons on the taskbar (pinned to taskbar) change into icons that look like the program is missing. Upon clicking the icon, as the program opens, it changes to the correct icon and keeps it until the program is closed.
