Icons in notification area missing

[techimnot]

Hi,
I added a new user and even though xp security tells me zone alarm and AV
are running, their icons do not appear in the notification area. How do I
correct this. I'd feel better if I could see the icons.

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