Volume control won't stay on taskbar.

[HMS Surprise]

Running XP on a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6114(not my choice) and the
volume control will not stay on the taskbar. It sometimes disappears
after or during running Windows media player. In the settings box I
even tried unselecting it and then re-selecting it so Apply would be
available but it refuses to show itself.

Ideas?


Thanx,

and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
