[Richard Novark]

I am running XP Pro. the start up icons will not stay in the taskbar next
to the clock after restart. Such as printer status, sound card setting.I can
add them ok but everytime I restart there gone. Anyone have any ideas?

Try disabling the SSDP Discovery Service and the Universal Plug and Play
Device Host service.

It would help to know what printer.

Your printer should have a folder on the start menu with links to printer
utilities.

If an HP printer, Start button, Programs, hp whatever series, hp whatever
series Toolbox.

Similar for other brands of printers
