Re: Where did the icon for my sound go?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I should have include this in my last response:

What about a firewall?

If you have none, I'd recommend Zone Alarm. The free version does an excellent
job. See this link for more details:

| I thank you for your reply but I went into my control panel and clicked on
| the sound link and was able to put the control back on my task bar.
| Now to answer your question: I have spybot, ad-ware, and my anti virus is
| the free version of AVG which updates every day.
| I was able to solve the problem of my sound icon missing from my task bar
| and also the internet link in the list of programs by doing a little
| investigating on my own but I have no idea what is causing these changes to
| happen to my system. I'm not new to computers since I've owned them for about
| 17 years now starting when DOS was used but neither am I knowledgable enough
| to know what's causing these problems or know what to do to fix them. I seem
| to panic when something strange happens.
| Thanks for your help.
