  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.

  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.

• Current Volume icons, network, disappear from the notification area.

  I know that microsoft has heard this problem many times that I read many forums to ask this question.
  I went to this link
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/945011
  and used the microsoft fix and it worked for a few weeks, but then the icons disappeared again.
  I tried the Microsoft fix it once more and restarted my computer, but it did not work.
  so I tried to fix it manually by removing the two registry subkeys, restart explorer.exe, and then I restarted my computer.
  still no effect. I also understand that the icons disappear only on this computer user, the user can see the icons in the notification area.

  If this happens only to a single user...
  You might want to try to create a new profile for this particular user. The profile may be damaged.

• Volume control icon has disappeared from the notification area and unable to change.

  Original title: missing Volume control on the speaker/icon

  My volume control icon disappeared from my office. On my notification area icons > system icons, the volume icon is set to 'off' and grayed out so I can't change it. I did NOT choose this option. It just happened when I turned on my computer this morning and had no sound and no "speaker" icon appearing in my bar tasks, like she normally does.  In addition, my notifications area icons is set to DISPLAY the volume control on the taskbar, but it does not show.  Restarting my computer did not help.  What can I do to get this to redisplay the taskbar? Fortunately, I can always manually volume by going to control panel, sounds, speakers, level and make it work, but it's too long. I need to be able to turn the volume on and off quickly.  I have Windows 7 Home Premium. Thanks for any help that can be given.

  Thank you very much for your answer!

  The answers to your three questions are No, Yes, and No. miraculously, when I turned on my computer this morning, the icon is back!  I'm sorry that you have to spend so much time explaining what to do, but at least I'll have your answer to see if it never happens again, and maybe it can help someone else.  I doubt I'm the only person never to happen.  Once again, thank you!
