Well this is odd. I have somehow started to get two msn messenger icons by the clock. I use messenger on and off during the week. For two days now I have two icons appear by the clock at boot. One says I am logged in (automatic) and the other says “not logged in”. I go into MSCONFIG and msnmsgr is in there only once. I then do CTRL-ALT-DEL and check processes and its listed there once. It works OK, but the two icons have me puzzled. For the Customize Notifications window for those icons, I can’t see anything in there to “cleanup” anything. If I click on the “not signed in” msn messenger icon and exit, it exits the whole messenger and leaves no icons beside the clock. In Start menu, All Programs and Startup, theres nothing in that. Also I am the only one using this computer so theres only me on messenger as far as logging in is concerened.
I wonder if there’s anything to do for it besides uninstalling it and reinstalling it…..all for one extra stupid icon. There may be more to it than I know…! Could the other icon be a direct line to Bill?That happens to me every now and then. But not all the time. It could just be Windows Messenger but i’m pretty sure that would show up when you pressed ctrl, alt, delete.

If it is, tell him he’s got bugs in his product!
I get the double-icon-vision occasionally (but rarely) when MSN hangs and restarts. One of the icons is the “real” icon and the other is a “ghost” that usually disappears immediately when I hover my cursor over it. Visual residue from the already-dead process.
Does this happen consistently for you? Can you follow specific steps to reproduce the symptoms? Does it go away when you hover over both the icons?
