• Volume and network of the missing icons in the taskbar

  Most of the time, not always, when I turn on my computer I have no network and volume icons in the taskbar.  When I right click on the taskbar and go to properties, then the notification area, sometimes I am able to click on them and then click 'apply', but other times they are grey. I never had this problem before, but I had to completely restore the computer recently.  My OS is Vista Home Premium. Thanks for any help.

• Pavilion P6207c: Hp mediasmart empty icon in the taskbar and icon missing in hp dock

  I restarted my computer and my HP Mediasmart icon in the taskbar is empty, when I click on it windows says it can't open because that its been moved, renamed or deleted. But the show task up if I right click on it like watch a dvd, listen to mp3's, see, modify or download photos, see modify or download videos. (all links in the task too much work) Then trying to understand the problem, that I thought I could basically icon/link to pull a bit of my HP Dock in the taskbar hoping it would be duplicate and appear in the taskbar. But to the contrary after leaving the dock and release the mouse button, it disappeared. How do I trouble the white icon and pick up the other icon in the dock? I pulled the HP Mediasmart icon directory .exe file and it is stuck in the dock, but it works the same. The original had an arrow below and if I clicked it, a drop-down list with all tasks would come down. With that I pulled from the directory that I have to click on it and then a new bar appears with different icons for each task.

  Well I solved the problem with the taskbar, I downloaded the hp mediasmart smartmenu, went into the directory and PIN to the taskbar. But I still can't one of the docking station will work as before.

  @enimen2 ,

  Hi and thanks again for the rear display.  If you can do it is no longer a restoration following options is a complete recovery of the system, return to the original configuration.  You want to back up all your information before you do.  Once it starts it will wipe your system clean.

  Here is a link that will help you to recovery.

• I want to go directly to "My Documents" when I click the icon in the taskbar. I don't want to go to the library and I then have to click My Documents.

  I tried unpin, repinning, removing, dragging shortcuts, etc.  All I want is an icon in the taskbar that will go directly into My Documents.  I do not want to use a shortcut on the desktop or through the start menu.

  Hello JoMassino,

  You can lock your documents folder to libraries (by default in your taskbar) icon. To do this, right click on your icon libraries, put highlight 'documents' and click on 'PIN to this list. To access this more later, you again do a right-click on the icon of libraries and select documents.

  Documents, media and other data can be found on the taskbar of Windows 7, but they will be added to the list of shortcuts for the associated application.

  I hope this suggestion works for you.

• Missing icons in the Notification area of the taskbar

  Some of my auto began the task at startup are not presented in my taskbar notification area. Check or uncheck to hide the icons inactive functions have no influence on this behavior. Is this a known bug of Windows XP-Home Edition?

  Hello

  Tasks that are not present in the taskbar area?
  As far as I know if the application has started as a background process doesn t lie in the taskbar.
  Also possibly installing some programs ask you if you want to create the icon in the taskbar.

  Additional I found an article very useful on the icons in system tray missing at startup of Windows XP.

  Original title: Internet wireless connection

  I use a PC & a cable modem wireless to connect to the Internet.  When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified.  I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.  The only other issue I see is once in a while after it is connected, I noticed that it is to identify the network connection, but I see no problem to surf the web.  This could be a looming problem with the modem, or is it something else?  Should I consider it as my modem is still under warranty?  ARRIS / Motorola wants to charge a diagnostic fee is why I write on this forum first.

• How to add sounds to the light icons in the taskbar when events happening?

  Well, my question is maybe very simple, I hope I can get help here, I ve been wondering how to make the icons on the taskbar sound when something happens for example when you receive a message 'Skype', the light of the task bar, but in my case they do not all sound the answer to that might be in the Skype settings, but, I want is doing the actual windows to make a sound to tell me something that is happening there, and of course I can chose the sound of that.

  the example of "Skype" might not be the best here, lets say another software, when is reduced and something happens, call your attention to the icon in the taskbar with start to glow, but sometimes I'm in another place, or looking for another way I could not miss this event in this software need my immediately attention with sound, I could turn on my loud speakers so I will be heard.

  Thank you

  Hello Derwyn,

  Thank you for your response.

  I appreciate your time and your concern.

  Unfortunately, the desired Windows sound is not included in the Windows sound scheme.

  However, in the article in the previous post on changing the sounds of the computer, you can see under the heading 'Windows Explorer' under the window 'events of the program'inside'sound'. You can find the other sounds of Windows Explorer as blocked pop-up navigation block, empty, trash, move menu items and so on.

  Thank you

• Icons in the taskbar disappears when installing any application

  Original title: icons in the taskbar disappears

  I use windows 7... Every time when I install an app, after a few days my icons to the taskbar disappear... Only after uninstalling the application is installed and the computer restarts, the taskbar icon comes back... I want a solution for this problem...

  Hi Fernando,

  Please contact Microsoft Community. I appreciate your efforts to solve this problem. I will surely help you this question.

  This problem might have occurred because of these reasons:

  1. Virus.
  2. Conflict between third-party applications.
  3. Corrupt system files.

  Try the steps listed here:

  Method 1:
  I suggest you virus scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note:
  (1) the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  2) if you run the virus scan of the program which is infected with the virus will be deleted. Therefore, reinstall the program. Also, if files and folders are affected by the virus, while they might even get deleted.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you to set up the computer in a clean boot state. Setting the system in a clean boot state will help you determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  Note: After the clean boot troubleshooting steps, follow the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Method 3:

• No its icon in the taskbar

  I lost my sound icon in the taskbar. After that I reinstalled IE8

  I tried to put it in sounds and devices, but get the error message "program not installed."

  I don't have XP CD as it has been preloaded.

  This could very well be the result of a corrupted or even no sound driver. It could also be the result of a damaged file sndvol32.exe or missing. If your audio driver, replacement update does not resolve the question download sndvol32.exe from HERE. Save the file to X:\Windows\system32 folder. (Note x represents the letter of your first drive usually C:\). When you place the file in the folder that you may be prompted to replace an existing file. Click Yes. Restart the computer.
