System Tray Icons Missing

[Guest]

Hi, I've got a problem with the System Tray. On every reboot of the PC some
icons are missing. Not always the same. For example the sound volume one,
although I've set to show the icon. THey should be 10, but on every reboot
only 5-6 are shown. Is there a way to solve it? Is some windows file
corrupted?

Thanks in advance...

It's actually called the System Notification Area. Try disabling one or
both of these services:
SSDP Discovery Service
Universal Plug and Play Device Host Service

Go to Start | Run. Type in "services.msc" without the quotes. Click
Ok. Scroll to one of these services and disable it. Reboot and see if
it corrects the problem. If not go back in, enable it, and disable the
other one. Reboot. If that doesn't work disable both at the same time.

10 is quite a bit, and I'm sure half are unnecessary startup programs.
