I have a Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop.
It's running Windows xp with SP-2
running SP-2 firewall
running Avast anti-virus

I want to see the Power & sound Icons on the task bar like I did before SP-2
update.

When turning on, only the clock and Avast show in the task bar.
I can go to Control panel and uncheck "always show icon on the task bar",
then apply, then recheck and apply and then they show in the task bar, UNTIL
I turn off the computer or reboot.

Is there a cure?
Thanks

Tom;
Go to Control Panel
Double click Power icon
Click Advanced tab
Place check by "Always show the icon in the toolbar"
Click OK

Again in Control Panel, double click "Sound and Audio Devices"
Place check by "Place volume icon in the task bar"
Click OK
 
Jupiter, that's exactly what I said I have already done & they are gone
again after the next boot even though they are still checked!!
HELP!!!

Tom;
Are you doing it from an Administrator account?
If so, try another Administrator account
 
If I know what I am seeing, I am the administrator. There is only 1 user
with administrator rights??
