OK, I read through all the posts I could find on the volume icon missing from
the system tray.
I am using XP Pro with SP2 and have all updates installed as of Dec 30,
2005. This is what I have done:
A) Go to Start/Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices. On the Volume Tab
under Device Volume, put a check in the box that reads: Place volume icon in
the taskbar.
B) expand sndvol32.ex_ c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe
C) expand powrprof.dl_ C:\Windows\System32\powrprof.dll
Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 stobject.dll
Then editted the registry with these settings:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"SystemTray"="SysTray.Exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Nla]
"Start"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netman]
"Start"=dword:00000002
D) Made sure Hide Inactive is disabled in Taskbar Properties.
E) Right-click the taskbar & select Task Manager under Processes tab select
Explorer.Exe & End Task. Under Applications tab select New Task, type in
"explorer" and click OK.
And, after all is said and done, when I check taskmanager after every step,
and several reboots, I see that sndvol32.exe is NOT running.
Ugh, help!
