Hi, Marco -

I am using the NOTIFYICONDATA structure.  I was a little terse in my 
description.  Sorry.

The icon disappears upon using NIM_DELETE and then milliseconds later 
reappears.
A simple trace-through does not reveal the source of the problem.  In fact, 
in the IDE, the icon disappears like I want.
I have some object references that I really should release earlier in the 
termination chain.
Perhaps therein lies my problem.

Thanks for the response -
Montie
