Missing arrow to expand the notification area

When I start as administrator of the arrow to expand the notification area is there and functioning normally.

When I start as regular user the arrow to expand the notification area is missing.

Looking for a way to get that back for regular users.

Thank you

Hello

Click with the right button on the taskbar - properties - tab Notification area - customize - across the vertical entrance
Hide - set, the other to hide when it is idle - OK - APPLY / OK. RESTART and check, then
define inputs and others as you wish.

I hope this helps.

  • Icon 'Remove hardware safely' is missing from the notification area

    I just reinstalled Win7 X 64 business but found that the icon 'Remove hardware safely' is missing from the notification area when I plug a USB key or external HARD drive (they don't work either by the way, I can view files in them no problem), I tried the solution of workaround suggested in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/safely-remove-hardware-icon-missing-and-cant-eject/e9fda0a2-c308-4853-bf1d-a3926ff0fcd1?page=1&tm=1299855382970#footer , but it does not resolve the issue, I don't see the USB stick or external HARD disk in the dialog 'remove hardware safely '. The only way I can eject a USB device is click on the drive in windows Explorer and select "eject" while even "eject" is not available for an external HARD drive

    Does anyone know how to troubleshoot it?

  • Missing icons in the notification area

    The only icons in the notification area are Microsoft Security Essentials and the clock. How can I get the default icons (especially ' remove hardware safely') to appear?

    It wasn't the problem. But I did a ggogle search and found many others have had the same problem of lack of icons in the notification area, the solution was a small script that change a line in the registry, and the problem is solved. The problem has been apparently related to start several programs at the same time when the computer is turned on.

  • Can no longer see the network icon in the notification area...

    OK, if one day I had an update alert Active on the lower right corner of my screen of my laptop. It was to download the new version of AIM-we said that your update is available, or something like that. I clicked on 'Install now' and went through the process with the GOAL. When I arrived at the end of the process, he said that everything was installed and I'm ready to go. Then when I restarted my computer, nothing has changed in GOAL it was always exactly the same as it was before I tried to install the software and my Internet connection / network connection icon is missing from the notification area next to where the time is displayed.

    I searched and searched through my computer trying to turn it back on right click on the bar tasks then go to the menu to set the network connection icon to 'active' again, but he wasn't there. I have no idea how to do to reactivate it, and I need in my notification area because I would like to know when and what network I'm connected to. I need help! Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    IM my notification area network icon disappeared, and when I go to the right click > properties > Notification area to try to solve this problem, the check box on the notification tab, because the network is grayed and I can't click on it.  Vista has done this before with the icon of power, but it seemed to resolve itself. It has been a few days and a few reboots now, however, and the problem persists. What can I do to try to solve this problem?

  • The notification area: Volume control freezes

    In the properties of the taskbar and Start Menu, the Volume/clock/network and power supply are checked to show in the notification area.  Sometimes, Windows Explorer stops responding and when it is restarted, the volume and network icons are missing from the notification area.  I can run a registry fix and sometimes retrieve the icons, other times I have to reboot to get them back (I can't get back them via the properties because they are gray).  Sometimes, only the volume control stops working.  Once again, I can sometimes get the volume control work by launching a registry fix.

    Now, here is the solution I found.  If I go into the properties of the taskbar (notification area) and uncheck CLOCK, my volume control never a problem, not Windows Explorer stops working.  I can run for days without any problem of Volume or Windows Explorer.

    But as soon as I'm back at the helm of the properties and turn the CLOCK on in the taskbar, my volume and Windows Explorer problems all over again.

    I've renamed TIMEDATE. The CPL and the system re-create it.  The size is 698 kb (714 240 bytes).  It is identical to the one I've renamed.

    Is this a known problem and is there a solution?  I'm just short without the date and time displayed in the notification area to avoid the problem, but VISTA should not have this problem.

    I'm closing this.  I think I have a problem with Firefox.  Uninstalling Firefox results in days that I can run without any problem.  Firefox reinstallation the problem to reappear.  Especially, when I close Firefox, the process is still running and the parent.lock file is not deleted.  I have to restart (the icons disappear after reboot), delete the parent.lock and then restore the icons, but updating the registry (TRAYNOTIFY).  So I restart Firefox until the next shot.  I think I'll start fresh (this isn't my main PC)

I want that they come back then I right-click the notification area, went to properties and arrived at the tab Notification area.
