UNSOLVED
taskbar notification area icons
I do the following but the icon will not show in the taskbar notification area.
"To display the volume control icon in the notification area
- Open Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel.
- On the Volume tab, under Device volume, select the Place volume icon in the taskbar notification area check box."
I also have checked the following applications for icon in the taskbar with no success?
--Power Options
--Local Area Connections
--Wireless Connections

- If the volume control icon is missing, use Start > Search > For files and folders > All files >and type in or copy/paste:SndVol32.ex_Search and note the location. It should be in C:\i386. If it's there go to Start > Run > type in Cmd [OK]. Copy/paste the bold text below in the box and [Enter]:NOTE : Edited the typo below exe changed to ex_Expand -r C:\i386\SndVol32.ex_ C:\windows\system32Do the same with this and [Enter]C:\windows\system32\mmsys.cplIf you don't have Sndvol32.ex_ but Sndvol32.exe instead, post back with it's location.

MARY G: Thank-you for that post. It solved the sudden problem I had with not being able to locate my volume icon and I have spent enough time trying to figure out how to bring it back! I could not figure out why the vlume icon was not checked and was shaded out and it was only due to the hide inactive icons box being checked. Thanks again!
