  The icons in the notification area of the bar (on the side of the lower right of the desktop) tasks are not all there.  The speaker/volume icon is over now and the arrow next to the notification (to show and hide icons) area has also disappeared.  I have not changed anything on the computer.  I tried to restart but it did not help.  No idea why this would suddenly disappear and how to get it back?

• 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?

  The sound icon disappeared in the notification area, so can not adjust the volume without having to open the system information. Even after that the restart several times there no re-appeared, grateful for any suggestion. Thanks in advance.

  Use this tutorial:
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/106787-notification-area-system-icons.html

  Go directly to the third method,

  2. for the Volume icon.

  (B) to activate the Volume - icon Enable_Volume.reg< click="" to="">

  Then follow the instructions from #5 to #9.

  Don't forget to restart the computer to perform the procedures.

  Note: If someone you said to disable all Windows applications, using a method first, it's trash.

  Go directly to the method three which applies to all versions of Vista, and it is also the simplest method.

  Hi VisBo,

  Welcome to the windows vista forums.

  Please follow the steps below to resolve this issue:

  1. right click on the taskbar and click Properties.

  2 tab Area of Notification .

  3 check (on) or disable (off) the options you want or do not want to display on the Taskbar Notification area.

  For the network icon, you can also do with the registry.

  NOTE:

  Please be careful while making changes to the registry, any undesirable changes can affect your operating system.

  1. click on start.

  2. in the start menu search bar type regedit, and then on enter.

  3 Please go to this location in the registry by expanding each location by clicking on the brand more on the left side.

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\LocalSettings\Software\
  Microsoft\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify

  4. remove the keys 'IconStreams' & 'PastIconsStream '.

  5. start the Task Manager by pressing ctrl + alt + delete at the same time.

  6. in the Task Manager right click on explorer.exe and kill the process.

  7. click on applications in the task manage, press new task and type explorer.exe, and then press ENTER.

  Explorer will now reboot and your icons should return.

  Alternatively, you can try to uninstall the most recent update that has caused the problem. You can uninstall an update by clicking on the icon of the program features in Control Panel. Select the update that caused the problem, and then uninstall it.

  You can also make a selection of updates to install by setting the windows updates to notify you before installing an update. To open this Panel, and then click windows updates, click settings.

  I hope this information is useful.

• How can I permanently delete an icon from the notification area?

  Whenever I start an icon composed of the white black '9' in a field number appears in the Notification area of my desktop tool bar.

  Whenever I start, I have 'customize' on the toolbar and "hide" icon.  It always comes back.

  How can I delete the icon?

  My OS is Windows Vista 64 bit Home Premium edition.
