Tray icons gone... SP3?

I just recently noticed that my tray icons are almost all gone (all except
Avast!, the network connection are all that come up during a startup.

Now I run a tight ship, but not THAT tight! I have three external HDs and no
Safely Remove Hardware icon, for instance. (I reinstalled them and the icon
came back to stay for one reboot.

But I should also have Volume Control, (again, I can fix that until the next
reboot.) Everything is enabled in MSCONFIG.

I Googled, with mixed results. And I can't be certain that it's coincidental
with SP3 installation or some other one I've done since. But since it's hot
and smoky and I'm tired, I thought I'd ask about it here.
