Mozilla on Quick Start Bar?

| I like the Mozilla icon in the quick start bar at the lower right corner
of my screen. However, sometimes it disappears after a restart of the
O/S. Everything works normally if I click on the desktop icon but I
like it down there in the quick start bar where I can get to it anytime
without going to the desktop. How can I tell Mozilla to keep it there?
THanks.

The bar at the lower right is the systray.
Do you have Quick Launch enabled?
Are you missing any other programs icons that should be in the systray?

Yes, Quick Launch and Search toolbars are enabled. The Avast and Atomic
Time Sync icons are present. In addition there is an icon that displays
the tool tip "comcast.dca.giganews.com" that I don't want but can't make
go away. "Dave's Quick Search Bar" works just fine.

You mean the "Quick Launch", right?
It's just a windows folder with some links in it.
Right-Click on an empty space on your Taskbar and desecect "Lock the
Taskbar", then pull the Quick Launch slider untill you ether see the
Mozilla Icon, or have enough empty space to Right click and select
"Open Folder". The rest should be obvious...

I don't know much about Win 2K, but there has been a problem in XP with
Systray icons not displaying. Hiding icons for networked UPnP devices
fixed it for me.
My Network Places, under Network Tasks.

No, not the Quick Launch Bar, but rather the one that can optionally
show the clock and a few other things.
I do not have a "Lock the Taskbar" selection on any menu on Win2KP.
Moving the sliders don't reveal the Mozilla icon.
I'll be the problem will go away if I reinstall Mozilla. I think
that's how I fixed it the last time. Thanks for your help.

Mozilla's Quick Launch can be enabled/disabled in Edit -> Preferences ->
Advanced. When it is enabled you should see the Mozilla icon in the
System Tray (systray) along with the clock.
Some third party applications (WinPatrol for one) can prevent Mozilla's
Quick Launch from starting at system startup.

Thank you! Checking the "Keep Mozilla in Memory" item seems to have
fixed the problem. Too bad Mozilla is so obscure.
