  • 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.

    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!

  • The sound icon disappeared into the notification area

    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.

  • Shortcut network disappeared from the Office of Windows7

    Hello
    first of all sorry for my English, I'm Italian!

    I'm a system for a small and medium business administrator. We are moving to Windows 7, because I think it's faster and more reliable than XP... but we have a little problem:
    Any customer using a new PC running Windows 7 , are complaining of the same problem (but boring):
    Some times generally (after the reboot, but not always) all the 'shortened network' disappear from office without reason.
    With the word "shortcut network" I mean: link to the remote folder (folder on a network file server), link to computer from the network or link to my own connections (such as the VPN to my company)
    An especially don't bind to the network resources are affected by this problem, [the desktop icon, the internal links, ore file icons, are not affected by this problem]

    It happened to me also (on all of my 3 PCs) and I'm really surprised!
    I found some forums with the same question:
    example 1 http://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems/1285630.htm
    Example 2 http://www.bdc-forum.it/showthread.php?t=91939
    but all have not yet given a comprehensive response

    Can you help me?
    Best regards
    Giorgio

    BossDweebe thanks for your quick response. Yes, I mean that!

    In general I want to say "link on the desktop pointing to external resources" as:

    link to removabke USB pen
    link to the memory card
    link to the computer from the network
    link to the shared folder [not on my PC] network.

    My idea was this link to clean periodically broken (or does not apparently) of windows from the desktop:

    Without doubt, I found the solution for this problem:

    You must click the Start Menu > Control Panel and then > go to system and security > administrative tools (bottom) > Task Scheduler > Task Scheduler (Local) (top left corner) > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > diagnosis >

    (right pane) Right-click on planned > disabled

    In the case of the active shortcuts then all desktop external drives such as card readers, usb, CD/DVD player and also Panel readers so items are deleted by Windows 7 when planning
