    Hi there James S.95 - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

    Have you tried dragging the Dropbox icon directly to your system tray (shown in your screenshot?

    This should help, but please let me know of any updates!

Thank you Walter; that worked!  It's amazing all the workarounds we find for dysfunctional Windows functions - it's like finding synonyms when we can't spell the original word.  Desktop icon manager doesn't work, but there's another method that does.

    Glad to hear that helped James S.95 - let me know if anything else comes up! When it comes to your Desktop app manager, have you tried rebooting your computer?
