    Notification area locked - Not policy


    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons shows the following:

    Some settings are managed by your system administrator.
    Why can't I change some settings

    Clicking the link gives me the help screen which is no help in this instance as I have perused the Group Policy: User Configuration>Administrative Templates>Start Menu and Taskbar and all items are "Not configured"

    An example of what this problem causes is that when Task Manager is minimized and options are set to 'hide when minimized' the icon never shows in the notification area.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
