Re: Volume Icon has disappeared from Taskbar

Excuse me. Meant to say Taskbar, not Desktop. Right click on the Taskbar | Properties | Customize. Then locate the Volume Control icon and change the behavior to Always Show.

Sorry:  I don't know what you mean by right click on the
DeskTop|Properties|Customize

Where am I supposed start right clicking. I don't know how to find what you
refer to. If I go to windows explorer and right click on desktop and then
click on desktop options I see some icons, but none for the volume control.
Anyway, I'm not looking for desktop icons, I'm looking for the little volume
icon that used to be in the lower corner of my screen in what I always
thought was called the taskbar.
