Hi Mike,
Windows cannot display the volume control on the taskbar because the Volume
Control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove
Programs in Control Panel.
To resolve this issue, extract a new copy of Sndvol32.exe from the Windows
XP CD to the system_root \System32 folder on your computer's hard disk. To
do this, follow these steps:
X: (where X is your CD Drive letter)
CD \I386
Then use the expand command:
expand -r sndvol32.ex_ c:\windows\system32
Note: This assumes XP is installed on C: and that its installed in the
Windows folder. If not, you'll need to adjust the command accordingly.
Additionally, this must be an installable version of XP, not a "recovery
CD".
To ge the icon to stay in the Notification Area after completing the above,
run this edit:
