Everytime i go to put the volume control in the
notification area it says to go to add/remove programs to
install it. I do this but can never find it. Someone
please help it's driving me insane.
 
How are you trying to put it there. Are you going to Control Panel|Sounds|
and checking place icon on desktop?
 
Hi Mike,

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:

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".

To ge the icon to stay in the Notification Area after completing the above,
run this edit:
