I installed SF46059 last week, and one of our programmers complained of
the same thing immediately after he applied the service pack to his PC
and rebooted.
I wasn't seeing the same problem on my PC, but we found that what
triggers this behaviour is if you have a network drive mapped to the
AS/400 marked to reconnect at startup, then the Client Access connection
icon doesn't appear on the active task bar.
