Why do I see the Silent Mode icon, if not in that mode?

Hi.

 

Noticed something...

 

On occasion, I notice the Silent Mode icon in my System Tray on XP, SP3.

However, there is no reason for it to be there, when looking at this forum.

Has anyone else seen this?

 

If I reboot, the icon changes back to normal.

 

FYI -Please also see my comment in this thread -
