The status area is called the Notification area. In earlier versions of
Windows it was called the system tray.
Notification area icons are missing at startup.
Try disabling the SSDP Discovery Service and the Universal Plug and Play
Device Host service.

In news:875A4CF1-6504-4764-8006-8F849D1961B6@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
BruceA <BruceA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
My Taskbar has suddenly (and intermittently) stopped showing all of the
startup items such as the power source, volume, etc. even though they all
seem to be functioning OK. for some of them such as the volume control,
if I go into the control panel and volume and turn off the 'show icon'
bit then turn it on again, the icon will appear. for other items it does
not happen. Another strange thing is that if I create a restore point,
reboot then restore to that point, the next time the computer reboots
fine. Any ideas would be appreciated.
