    Volume control not active


    Hi All

    The volume control in the right corner of the taskbar has gone haywire. I tried activating it in the 'customize' settings, but it tells me that it is not activated. How do I activate it, and more specifically, what is the registry fix for this?

    Note: I did try rebooting the PC, but no luck.

    Thanks

    occasionally my volume icon wont show when the computer starts, i find killing explorer.exe, from task manager then re starting explorer.exe from new task in task manager gets the volume icon to show.

    boohbah brilliant,
    context menu Plus bat file.
    Thanks for the redirection.
    Easier than using the run command in task manager.
