Does anyone know what the program "Shlliconhiddenwindow" is?

Question

I am using Windows XP and every couple of days when I am trying to shut down, there is an error message saying that this program could not shut down. I looked in Add/Remove programs, and there was no program with that name. Please help, I don't want strange programs running on my computer without knowing what they are!

Answer 1

According to another forum...

"Newer version of MusicMatch Jukebox available that has seemed to resolve the
issue with the white pixel and the shell icon crash...

ShelllconHiddenWindow

That error message window seems to be caused by Musicmatch Jukebox.
You do not need MusicMatch running at startup. You can always start the apps
manually.

Remove these two entries...
C:\Program Files\MUSICMATCH\MUSICMATCH Jukebox\mm_tray.exe
C:\Program Files\MUSICMATCH\MUSICMATCH Jukebox\mimboot.exe

from...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

mm_tray.exe is the tray bar process for MusicMatch Jukebox which organizes
and plays music media such as MP3s. It gives the user easy access to the
MusicMatch Jukebox application and settings. This is a non-essential
process.

mimboot.exe is a process associated with Musicmatch Jukebox. The process
makes sure that Musicmatch is launched when starting up the system.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Shellcon Hidden window is back up software that is attached to certain programs, musicmatch being one of them. I am still researching the effects on computer efficiency. It slows down the shut down procedures because it is turning off. It runs in the background when you turn on your computer. I have a new laptop also and it never appeared until I downloaded the newest version of musicmatch.
