Disable the startup of the Volume control in the system icon tray.
I need to disable volume control start in the system tray so that it does not show users that connect.
So far, I've fiddled with regedit, msconfig and mmc. I can turn it off for my own login, but when others open a session, it appears.
Note: the volume must remain on and to a preset level (so I can't just delete or disable control of Volume of Mater).
Also note: Perfessional XP
Thank you

System icons missing in the taskbar
On my laptop, next to which the time is specified, must be 3 different icons. Volume, network and power. I don't know what happened, but these icons are now gone. I went in the taskbar and Start Menu properties to get them back, but under the system icons, the only selectable icon is time. The other three are grayed out and I can't click on it.
What happened to my computer? and how to fix it?

- Expand the tree and access Configuration user-> templates-> Start Menu and taskbar to administration.
- Change the status value the value to Disable or not configured for the following group policies allow the display or the display of the icon in the notification area.
Clock: Remove clock from the system notification area
Volume: Remove the volume control icon

Power (battery) icon: remove the battery meter- Close the local Group Policy Editor.
- Restart Explorer, Log off and log back or restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

I have 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate on a HP laptop.
I read a review (whose source I can't remember, but I think this is Microsoft) that there is a security hole in the desktop icons that would attack at a distance. (Yes, I know.) So he gave a procedure to remove the danger with editing the registry, with the warning that it would make the normal icons disappear and be replaced by the default system icon.
I performed the procedure and the icons have disappeared. And I did not back up the registry first. (Yes, I know.)
Now, I know I don't want to live with all the icons, the same. I have read many procedures on Windows 7, etc., but none that hits home. And try the remedies to these problems is no help either. Can anyone help? Thank you very much.
After three weeks of research, I posted the above message, then found the solution almost immediately after:
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/233243-default-file-type-associations-restore.html
I have selected the "LNK" link and run the registry script it contains, and returned all the icons. It is only the shortcuts that have been replaced.
(This time I saved the first restore point!) Problem solved, in an orderly manner. TX to all who examined him.

Notification area: icons are invisible (NOT the system icons)
Was fine when I went to bed last night. Computer did an automatic stop (no windows update). Started this morning and the notification area icons are invisible. The space of each icon is still there because I can mouseover a vacuum arises space and text for each icon.
I tried the regedit fix, but that is really intended for people who cannot see their system icons. The icons of my clock, volume, network and battery are still visible, but no other icons are. Restarted several times, started in safe mode and windows theme switched from classic to vista. I can't find an answer to this problem.
When I restart windows, first 2 or 3 icons will begin to show, but then after that, for some reason, they disappear and no other icons appear. As I said, however, the actual processes are still running and I can even access. Just the icons are not visible.
Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

Windows 7 - network system icon disappears
I did an upgrade installation on my laptop from Vista business to Windows 7 Professional and everything works fine, except the icon of system network has disappeared. This is the case, even though I am connected via Ethernet to the Internet without problem and the icon is checked "on" in the dialog system icon. I also did a repair installation (several times) of Windows 7, which did not solve the problem. (This was NOT a problem with Vista).

Cannot turn system icons on or off, excluding the clock icon.
Hello
The title pretty much everything said. I can turn only the clock system power icon. Everything is grayed out. Now, when I go to the task bar, click Customize and access the power, the network, volume, and center of the action, they are all checked to "display the icons and notifications '. However when I navigate to 'enable or disable system icons' they are all grayed out except the clock. Now I use a HP tx2z which has quick launch buttons. From there I can change the power plan, see my network status and change the volume; However, I can't do this on the taskbar.
All this happened randomly when I logged on and off my laptop. I tried to reboot several times, closing, create a new power plan, cleaning the registry. I tried to open the policy editor of group local and disabling the option 'Remove Battery Meter' as stated in this similar question but there is no option to do so. There is an option for all other icons that appear dimmed.
The pictures showing the problem can be seen here , here , here and here . Highlight the link to see the description. I didn't install anything.
Thank you!
Patrick
I found the problem. I had a custom theme installed and how I installed it (through the registry by changing the shell at a "Explorer" different but I nominated is something else) disabled icons. This is probably because these icons have been 'search' for the shell named "Explorer" not what I had changed to. Anyone who the problem is resolved and thanks for helping me! -Patrick

Power system icon is gray turned off in Windows 8
I have Windows 8. But the notification of the power icon does not appear in the taskbar. I ' tried to fix it in the notification thus in the system icon portions but I can't because the possibility to activate the icon is grayed out offshore and does not allow me to change it.
I removed the battery and inserted back but still the same problem persists.I found the answer to this in a forum. The solution is the following:
Go to Device Manager, click on battery uninstall "microsoft compatible ac adapter".Take action. Click scan for new hardware.
It will find the battery and you will not even need to restart :-)
