Hi Guys,
In our environment, we use a single signon solution. A particular configuration allows users to quickly login and logon out of a computer. This is accomplished by generically auto logging onto Windows and then authenticating users before letting them use the computer. Because this configuration allows the user to interface with the computer via an indirect namespace (similar to how VM users use a variant of the parent VM image), the same instance of explorer.exe is in play for all authentications within the generic scope, thus, multiple stale user icons appear in the systray as users log on and off. The fix for this is to kill the process explorer.exe in order to refresh the systray. Well, our environment has changed slightly and killing the process is no longer a viable option.
So, my question is (after this possibly pointless briefing), is there a way remove stale icons from the systray using vbs?
