    Hello

    Have you checked the settings in the taskbar and Start Menu Properties?
    There should be a tab named Notification area.

    In this tab, you find an option; Hide inactive icons.
    You can turn off (disable) this device or you can customize it.
    In addition, you can choose which icons should be available and shows even the Hide inactive icons option would be activated.

    In some cases, these options may be grayed out
    In this case, you will need to find a registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify

    and here you have to delete the keys: + IconStreams + and + PastIconStream +.

    Try these steps and check if that helps:

    ** Turn it back on. Sometimes a reboot will solve this problem.* *.

    1. close all programs and stop the laptop.

    2. remove all power supplies (battery and power cord)

    3. empty the remaining power by pressing the power on button for 30 seconds (even if you have no power).

    4. put the battery back and start the computer

    5. once fully loaded, right-click on the system tray and select Properties.

    6. This will bring to the top of the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog box. The "Notification area" tab.

    7. at the bottom of the tab, is the area 'icons systems. " There is a checkbox for "Power". "check" the box and click on apply or OK.

    Also update your graphics card drivers.

    It works! Tanks a lot Johnny D.81!

    Hi, Lewis S.,.

    Shortcuts to sites will initially their own custom icon when you create a shortcut. This icon is called a "favicon.ico" and is stored in the temporary Internet files (TIF) cache, which is where all website files, are stored when you visit them. If the cache is disabled, all custom icons are removed.

    You can restore the favorite icons of bookmarking site again. The other method is described below.

    Step 1: Locate the favorite on the Temporary Internet Files folder icons.

    a. the default temporary Internet files location is C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

    b. navigate to the location above.

    c. ensure that the hidden files and folders is disabled so that you can access the location.

    Reference: Show hidden files

    d. type fav*.ico in the search field. This will pull up your favorite icons.

    e. copy and paste icons to another folder, such as the C:\Favorites icon.

    Follow the instructions below to point the bookmark to the permanent icon file.

    Step 2: Customize icons

    a. open Internet Explorer.

    b. click the Favorites icon.

    c. right-click on the favorite that you want to change icon.

    d. Select Properties.

    e. under the web document tab, click Change icon.

    f. click Browse to navigate to the location where the folder is stored. IE C:\Favorites icon.

  • No icon of the user name click on the blue paper in the screen that says "To begin, click on user name"... There is nothing to click! It was working fine yesterday, and today the icon has disappeared.

    Hello!

    When I start my computer, I got the blue screen where I can usually click on the leave me in my office.  Unfortunately, this icon has disappeared and I can't log my computer.  The user name was not protected before.  Is there something I can do to get the icon back so that I can connect to my computer?  I tried to restart the computer in safe mode, but it brings me just to the same screen with a larger font.

    When I hit Ctrl-alt-delete twice, I have a username but none of the passwords that I get home from work.  Is there a defect that I can use?

    Thoughts?  Thanks much for any help you can give!

    Then, it seems that your connection files are broken, perhaps because of the infection. What has changed between the time where things worked and the time, they did not? There are ways to fix broken logons, but much depends on what caused the problem. If the machine was in the store I boot with a special rescue CD and take a look, but you can't do it at home. Since you have XP, a Bart PE could help. Otherwise you should take your computer to a local professional. Do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.
