Volume Icon

[Den369]

Is there a way to ensure that the volume icon gets loaded in the system tray
on startup? For some reason it doesn't load 50% of the time.

Thanks,

Dennis

Neither of these helped. I don't receive any error messages and the second
link has been tried and re-tried several times over.

Usually, a failure of some notification icon is a result of something
needing to wait a while after startup to load. There are a number of ways to
address that. My favorite is to launch a script in startup that waits a
while, then toggles the notification (tsr) app.

--startWait.vbs--
set shell=createobject("wscript.shell")
wscript.sleep 3000
shell.run "%windir%/system32/sndvol32"
--end file--

You can close the app any number of ways, depending on your experience
level. You have some tsr grabbing focus during starup that is not allowing
your sound driver to load. You probably need a better sound driver.

Thanks for trying to help, I have no idea on how to write a script. You did
give me an idea though. Sometimes on startup my AVG loads and looks for an
update. I will change that so that the program doesn't update automatically.
There is nothing in my startup folder so that might be it?

Thanks again, Dennis

I doubt that will solve your problem and it could create another.

Thanks to all that responded. Since I've shut down the auto update for AVG
the sound icon has loaded every single time on boot up and restart! Maybe
that was it? Only time will tell....................
