In a service pack upgrade somehow I ended up with two battery meter icons in the system tray. Needless to say this is really a non-problem, but it's driving me crazy. How can I get rid of the extra?

Try looking in the Registry at the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Run, RunOnce, and RunOnceEx keys. Sometimes an application is registered twice in these keys, making it start twice.

Speaking of which, check your task manager | processes tab tosee if the power manager process *is* running twice. If so, I'd look in the registry to see if it's referenced twice.

Hope that helps -
