Hi,
This search returned the question but not the answer ;-)
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22speaker+phone+companion%22&hl=en
Sounds like this may be related to Yahoo chat or messenger (?)
Try this when the phone icon is present...
Start> Run> msinfo32> Software environment> Running Tasks. In the right
pane, Ctrl+a (select all) then Ctrl+c (copy) Paste that into a reply, see if
someone spots a task that might be causing this.
Hope this helps,
Don
