thanks for such a speedy reply, mike.
i couldn't right-click on the tray icon to get an options menu - instead the program kept opening.
my custon tray icon click settings weren't working.
the forecast icons changed from my preference and wouldn't change back.
i have Win7, if that matters. I found a copy of 7.0.4 on my hard drive, uninstalled and reinstalled - now all's back to how i like it. i deleted your emails from yesterday and this morning - when you have time, will you send me the one for 7.0.11 again?
