For some unknown reason, well unknown to me, at times, when a few select
programs
(unrelated programs i.e.games , a yahoo window) open an icon of a
small black rotary telephone, that has the handset rise as if ringing,
appears in the notification area in the bottom right of the window.  This is
accompanied by what I would describe as a wave sound of "exclamation", for
lack of a better word.  When I scroll over it with the mouse the words
"Close Speaker Phone Companion" appear.  I can only left click on it and it
closes.  I searched through my PC's wav files and found nothing similar.
Task manager gave no clues.  I have searched the web and found nothing.

So I was wondering, is there a way I can search to see what programs are
running when that icon appears?

thanks, Bob
