Well I tried your suggesstion to no avail, or so I thought. When I opened the appl under 'Safe Mode' and then hit the minimize button I got what I thought was the same result of icon disappears in the taskbar, but the program is still active in 'Task Manager'!? So I rebooted into my normal win7 64-bit standard mode and read this messaage. This time I see where you mention something about the 'System Tray' and as first look the icon was no where to be found. But when I opened the 'System Tray context menu' low and behold there was the ImgBurn icon sitting smuggly amoungs the other icons on my system, yet the task bar at the bottom of left portion of my screen had removed the icon!?
What I didn't realize was that the installer had placed the appl., icon in the system tray, but did not show it until I customized the 'System Tray'. Sorry for the confusion.
I did have on additional problem, when we first started to talk about this disappearing icon, and that occurred last nite. It concerns multipule occurrences of the application as noted in the attached zip file. Take a look see and tell me what you think.
An as for the Galaxy smartphone, it appears to have some outstanding issues of its own, so don't worry about it at this time.
Again sorry for the time spen on this issu. . .
