I lost my volume icon, how can I get that back
on my right, I had my volume icon, now it is not there, how do I get that back on my laptop.ty
Try to delete the two registry keys, but create a system restore point before you delete them, just in case something goes wrong.
Create a system restore point, and then open a run window (Windows Logo key + R), type regedit and press enter in the left pane, navigate to Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify of HKEY_CURRENT_USER. In the right pane, there are two entries: IconStreams and PastIconsStream, right click, then delete them, restart the computer and the keys are re-created.
You will perhaps (just once) with the right button of the taskbar, click Properties > Notification area > customize and put a tick in those who are missing.

A few days ago, something happen to my computer. I lost the sound to hear the games, films etc. I tried to recover it, but don't know how. I spent the settings, my computer, don't know what to do.
Try reinstalling the audio drivers if you have the disc driver with your computer just put in and find the .exe for the audio file. You can also try to download the file of the driver from your computer manufacturer site. If you can provide your model computer here so we can help you find the file of the driver as well. :-)

It's a pretty good trick, considering that charmap.exe is one of the files that Windows File Protection is supposed to protect.
Do a full disc search for charmap (without extension), making sure to look into the hidden files and system.
If charmap.exe is not in C:\Windows\system32 (where it belongs), he probably is not in C:\Windows\system32\dllcache (where it also belongs).
If you have a directory (which is common for systems with Windows) C:\i386 pre-installed, you should find charmap.ex_, which is a compressed version of the file. You must use the EXPAND command from a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK) to decompress:
Expand c:\i386\charmap.ex_ c:\windows\system32\charmap.exe
copy c:\windows\system32\charmap.exe c:\windows\system32\dllcacheDon't forget the space before the c:\ at two locations in two lines
You will also find the charmap help files in C:\i386 and can expand those as well if necessary. The expanded files should reside in C:\windows\help

I lost the sound recorder. The program has disappeared. How can I get that back?
I lost the sound recorder. The program has disappeared. How can I get that back?
Hi dstaub53,
In "gone", I assume that you do not see the menu of all the Programs.Accessories? Try clicking on the Start button and typing sound (or tape recorder) in the search box. The sound recorder.exe file should then appear at the top of the search list.
Click or double-click the exe of tape recorder to open the sound recorder.

I lost all my content off my creative cloud. How can I get that back?
I have been using Adobe voice for a few months now for work, yesterday, I disconnected my voice of adobe and update of the application itself, then after updating the app, I logged in and it only showed that I have 2 projects on it.
