sound taskbar icon

[rakmo]

i have unknowingly uninstalled the sound icon from my
system and know, i cannot adjust the sound from my
taskbar.

when i go to audio properties to check the blank box to
enable it, they require me to "add program" from the
add/remove program link from the control panel menu.

what should i do to get back the icon?

Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Sounds etc and enable the box... "Place
volume icon on the taskbar"

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel ->
Sound And Audio Devices

You should get a dialogue box coming up, in the dead
centre of the box is a line "Place volume icon in the
taskbar". Click the check box next to this, then hit OK.

Hi,

If you have received this error:

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:

Start/Run/CMD. In the command prompt window type:

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".
