Every time I start my computer, I have to go to the control panel and go to sound settings to put the volume control icon in the taskbar next to the clock. It use to load automatically but quit. How can I get the volume control icon to stay in the taskbar without having to go to the control panel to add it each time I start my computer?

In the last few months my volume icon does not load in the system tray most of the time on boot up.I have it selected to show in the task bar properties and the control panel. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get this icon back. I have to bring up the Master Volume Panel to change volume settings. This is a real pain most of the time, as all I want to do is stop a web site from playing some anoying music or turn the volume back on when I need it.

I want to place an icon under the System tray. the program was installed already and i want to get a particular option only under the system tray.For Example : I'm having the Norton System Works 2005 on my Machine. and there is an option called Live Update in that program, i need to have the Live Update icon under the sytem Tray. So, that i can easily run the Live Update with out open the program . (In that program itself the Live Update is able to run with out opening the Norton Program) so, how come i place an icon under the System Tray.

This icon suddenly isn't showing up, so I have to shut down or risk damaging something to get my external USB devices disconnected from the system.Is there a place in XP Pro that I can enable it?

Computer runs on Windows XP Home SP2. Since the last two or three monthly Window updates, that yellow shield icon - the Windows Update icon - no longer shows up in the system tray. I tried to locate it under "previous elements" (I'm translating from German since my computer language is in German), but it's not there. I only know when Window updates have been downloaded when I want to shut down the computer and I have the option to either first install the updates, after which the computer will shut down automatically, or shut down the computer without installing the updates.

I recently installed (on my P4 3GHz machine running WinXP SP2) a LogiTech wireless keyboard and mouse combo (MX3200). It seems to be working fine, but I've noticed that ever since I installed the additional software that came with it (for the enhanced features), I've had problems with the speaker icon not loading in the sys tray at startup.

I have run a windows repair twice, and no luck either time. After the first repair the computer worked fine, until I installed SP2, and lost the taskbar, and couldn't fix that (you can view that thread here: http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt...tart-menu.html. After the recent repair everything went fine until I tried to install SP2 again. I will start the computer, and windows will load. Everything is fine until the login screen appears (windows XP home ed.). The screen lasts for about 1.5 seconds and then it goes BSOD.

noticed an icon on my desktop representing the email I had read (and deleted). Now I can't delete the icon. It is grayed out and I get the message "Cannot delete file: cannot read from source disk or file"-no kidding. How do I get rid of this thing?

Just installed a brand new copy of Windows XP Pro and find that the system tray is missing a couple of items that I would expect to see there. One is the clock, and the other is the icon that shows whether I am connected to the internet or not.

I know this is a commonly asked question but the fixes I have found online so far have not worked for me. The problem is simple, my systray icons do not show up anymore but the clock does and I cannot access the 'hide inactive icons' check box that is in the properties area of the tray because it is grayed out.

Today, I noticed two icons that are normally in the system tray are gone. They are the blue battery icon for the laptop battery status, and the Windows volume control speaker icon. Yes,I opened the "Power Options" icon in Windows Control Panel, and under "Power Options Properties/Advanced, the checkbox "Always show icon on the taskbar" is checked. Yet the icon will not show. Same thing for the Windows volume control icon, in Control Panel, I clicked "Sounds and Audio Devices", and on the "Volume" tab, I have checked "Place volume icon in the taskbar", but there's no icon. They were both there yesterday, and I didn't knowlingly change any settings.

I am running Win XP Pro with SP2 (standard setup). The problem: A couple of the icons in the system tray don't show up on re-boot. Specifically, the 'safely remove hardware' icon, and a backup utility called 'second copy' that runs on startup. When I 'restore' to the exact same point, everything is fine. When I reboot, gone again. And when they are gone, I can't run the backup utility (it won't start). What is different about the restore utility that makes it work if I restore to the same exact point. This all started with I tried to uninstall and reinstall Norton Utilities (which seems to be working fine).

As the title says, the cpu monitor that appears in the system tray when Taskmanager is running has gone missing and I can't seem to find a way to get it back. Here's what I've tried so far. In the systray Past Items: Set the icon to "Always Show" In Taskmanager Options: Checked and unchecked all items in every combination. Used Taskmanager to end taskmanager.exe process. This one did work once, but it was gone the next time I opened TM. Cleared the SystemTray list. Run sfc /scannow. Tried System Restore. It's not a huge problem as TM works fine, but I liked the CPU monitor in the tray when it was running. It's more a mystery I'd like to solve.

I am havig some system tray icon problems after installing anti-virus and spyware software. Looking for a fix for the disappearing system tray icons at initial start-up. Quick fix log off and on again icons reappear where they should. I am told that this disappearing activity is due to a Windows XP "BUG". What a problem! Any ideas for a secure, lasting fix out there? After the spyware and antivirus software installation, the computer star-up time is now really SLOW too. The software launches seems to be in conflict with each other, or something. Have emachine--T3406, Windows XP Home 2002, Service Pack 2. 1.23 GB RAM.

I am running windows xp service pack 3 on an hp desktop and i have recently installed a new wireless card. The network that I am trying to connect to can only be accessed through the use of windows wireless manager. The problem that i am having is that the network icons (both wireless and wired) are missing from the system tray. This wouldnt normally bother me, but one of the steps for connecting requires you to click a bubble that pops up from the wireless network icon. However, no icon = no bubble. I can access my available networks from the network connections folder, but i need those icons in order to finish setup. I have checked the boxes to display the icons in the system tray and I have unchecked the hide unused icons box. I cannot find any solutions online.

I've winxp Home with SP2 system, yesterday my daughter had installed the program 'MS Plus' from the XP Installation CD which was not installed earlier in the machine. My OS is original, but to-day on opening the system I'm seeing that the icon of Hard Drive(E : Drive)to which the program was installed went missing and in its place another icon (which generally represents for any unidentified file) has taken its place.
