    Can anyone tell me how to get this program icon back on the righthand taskbar where it has always been? After it ran today the icon stayed in the middle tray and will not go to the taskbar where it always was. I guess this location on bottom right is the taskbar. Tried restart and moving. No success. Usually when finished it goes back to its lower right position.

    OH! Never mind. After the restart it does appear in the botttom right lation as it was. I will watch it.

    I did my homework. I think this area is called the system tray or notification area.

    Yes, it goes by both names. I think originally is was called the System Tray. At some point, they started calling it the Notification Area.
