As I said there is NOTHING else, I installed VS8,10,12 after a clean install of Windows 8.

As I said, I did re-install it twice now and still nothing. Same problem :(

Hi, no I did not install anything. I had a cleanly installed Windows 8 Pro with nothing on it and simply installed VS2008, 2010, and 2012 all in order. Then after that I have updated them using Windows Update. And that's where the problem started occurring (VS2012 only). And yes I have tried clean re-installing, but same problem.
And who rated my question 1 star? :( I just want some help, I don't know what is going on.

No, they are actual folders, I can access them. For example in the folder 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.pdb' I get another folder inside called 'CCAE9564F0074512AAB07042A8993A211' and inside that folder I get a file 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.pdb'.

Are you running Windows 7?

It doesn't seem to do what I want though (in Win 7 at least). Please see my second edit.

No matter how many times I try to re-explain, we clearly don't understand each other correctly. It's OK...
I know it's possible, so I'll find a way. Maybe on a different forum...

So is it a coincidence that it's icon appears next to the clock every time I reinstall and will not become hidden unless I close it or go into Control panel and set it to only display notifications?
I've also installed it on my laptop and tried it on one of my friends PC's, it always appears next to the clock and it will never become hidden until the user moves it to the rest of the icons or sets it to only display notifications from control panel.
So it's clearly something to do with your set up... It's not a coincidence.

Yes there is!!! DropBox and quite a few Anti-Virus programs did it so yes it is possible to do it!!!
Please don't bother replying if you don't know how...

Yes, I have realized that now. See my second edit...

I don't know what OS you're running, but my app is for Windows 7+ anyway... If you are running Windows 7, then you clearly don't understand what I mean (No ones else here seems to either...).
Any application with a NotifyIcon is by default just displaying notifications and is being hidden unless the user goes into "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons" and changes it to also display the icon. That is exactly what DropBox is doing, but programmatically...

The only thing in the registry is to either show all hidden icons or hide them (default).
Please, if you don't know how then don't even bother. I know it's possible as I said DropBox has done it!!!

Yes, I am using the NotifyIcon control for this... And its hidden in the place where it hides inactive icons (like in windows XP). I want it to be 'active' and shown next to the up-facing arrow that you press to show other icons. That's where all other apps icons go by default. Please see image I added.

No, you don't get what I mean...
If your on Windows 7, go into control panel and go to Notification Area Icons. You will see what I mean. All notification area icons can be adjusted to be shown all the time or not. I'm just trying to find a way to do it programmatically.
And as I said, if DropBox can do it, then it is possible. There must be some API or something.

Thanks, I've seen it before but it doesn't seem to work, I get all kinds of errors. Fixing one gives me another. Looking at the code it seems he is stripping the very pixels of the icon and putting them into a bitmap format. That is far beyond me. I'm using Visual 'BASIC' for a reason haha XD. I've tried something with it but nothing works. It was also made in Visual Studio 2008, I am using 2010 - maybe that's where the problems are coming from?
Hmm... I guess this is much hard to achieve than I thought.

I though my question was clear enough if you actually read it. I don't want enlargement. Look I have an icon file that has a 256 x 256 32-bit depth quality icon in, and I simply asking for a way to convert that icon data into bitmap data, one file type to another simple as that. So far I only know of one but it limits me to only 32 x 32 in size, which is really small. I appreciate you're answer, but I will not stop until I find away, because I know there is one.

Thanks, for the reply. But there must be a way to do it. There are icon viewers made in VB 6 that allow you to view even a 256 x 256 icon, but I have no idea how to do it in VB.NET 10
