Re: My System Tray is missing.

Well, to add a twist to this tale, normally when my XP boots up, it goes
right into the my user name and everything loads.. I signed off my user name
to get to the Admin sign-in, and there was no Admin user to select!
Additionally, when I signed back into my user, the System Tray was there!
After I post this, I'll sign off again then back in to see if the Sys Tray
remains in place.

Sky, that's normal -- the built-in Admin isn't shown once another user with admin privileges has been created. To access it after logging off your account, try holding down Ctrl + Alt and pressing Del quickly twice. This should bring up a login box where you can type Administrator for the name and then the password (if any) -- this works in Pro but I'm not sure if it does in Home. If not, boot to Safe Mode and you should see the Administrator as a choice on the Welcome screen.

Fingers crossed that your icons stay put. . .
