This must be some strange new use of the word "permanently" that I 
haven't come across before. I use this feature all the time, and many of 
those times are because XP has forgotten my previous choices, and 
decided that I probably did want to see that icon after all.

Funnily enough, the changes that XP inflicts on me are all from "Always 
hide" to "Hide when inactive". When I suggested that this was a bug I 
was told that those icon selections are "preferrences", not "choices". 
They have a fine way with words at Microsoft.
