System Tray Icons Disappear

[+++Bobby \O\+++]

Once in awhile, an icon or two in my system tray will disappear - even
though the process is still running. How can I get the icon back without
shutting down the process - then restarting it? One of those icons is
usually for the volume controls. Thanks......

Between the systray and taskbar, is there a blue circle with an " < " arrow?
Do your systray icons reappear if you click on the blue circle?

No...I know what the blue circle is.

Between the systray and taskbar, is there a blue circle with an " < "
arrow? Do your systray icons reappear if you click on the blue circle?

Nope, still kicking here. At the corner of La20 as a matter of fact, less
than a mile from my home. )
