Volume control not active

[DextrousDave]

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.
