In an earlier post, I asked about deletng several processes.
I disabled the wrong process and lost my system tray DUN icon. DUN
still works fine from my desktop icon, but when connected, it does
not now show up in the system tray.
I tried enabling processes that were disabled from some time in
the past.
These services show as stopped and will not enable:
Windows Net Meeting for Remote Desktop
You don't need that.
Windows Messinger
You need that even less...
Net Logon
You don't need that either.
How to enable these services?
How to get my system tray DUN icon back?
How about Right-click on the icon, select Properties |Shortcut |
Find Target and Right-click the target again to see what is
available. Or you can access it through the Control Panel |
Network and Dial-up Connections.
The thing is handled by Rasphone so you can also just go to Start
Menu
| Run and type rasphone in the dialogue box and click OK. Select
the connection and click on properties. There you will see a check
box at the bottom, Show icon in taskbar...

TIA
Thanks, John, just the data I needed.
But, no luck.
Exactly as you said, ran rasphone, but in my DUN screen, "show icon
in taskbar" is *already* enabled. I also started with the desktop
shortcut, got to the same screen, same result.
I goofed somehow, disabled something this AM that now it does not
show up in the taskbar, of course I tried reboot, no luck.
I did disable MS Webcheck early this AM, now can't find it, could
this be it?
Thanks,
Mike
Solved it!
The latest version of Autoruns showed an item in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServiceObjectDelay
Load
called Network Connection Tray- it showed unchecked. I selected it,
and got the tray icon back to normal. Possibly when I unchecked MS
Webcheck the other day, it also unselected this entry, because with
that title I would not have touched it.
Any comment?
Interesting. That is a pretty obscure and scantly documented registry
entry. You are quite fortunate that you made the changes with
Autoruns and that it created a backup key for restoration. Without
that you would have had a hard time getting to the bottom of this! By
default the key contains three entries. For the benefit of others who
might have deleted the entry here is the registry fix for it:
Network Dial-up Networking (DUN) Monitor Taskbar Systray System Tray
Notification Area Rasmon icon missing fix:
=======================================================================
===== Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServ
iceObjectDelayLoad]
"WebCheck"="{E6FB5E20-DE35-11CF-9C87-00AA005127ED}"

In future, will not mess with those settings, leads to problems.
You have to be carefull with these tools. They are powerful and can
get you in a real fine mess if you misuse them. Be sure to thourougly
resarch the changes to be made before you make them. Sometimes you
might make a change and all seems right. Then a month later one of
these applications or Windows function that you only use once in a
blue mood might have hiccups and then finding the cause can be very
difficult. I'm not so sure that disabling WebCheck is a good idea, up
to you to satisfiy yourself that it won't cause problems down the
road.
