I've been using Vista Home Premium for three years and today there was no
Network icon to be seen in my System Tray. This has happened before and if
I really wanted to see it I would just reboot and it would magically
reappear. I tried that today and it is still missing though I do have
internet access.

In Taskbar and Start Menu Properties only Clock is check marked and Volume,
Network and Power are grayed out.

Suggestions? Thanks, Dave Horne
 
I went ahead and restored the registry from a few days earlier and that
solved the problem ... at least for now. I now see the Network icon and the
Volume and Clock check boxes are now not not grayed out.

I would however appreciate any information regarding this issue. Thanks,
Dave Horne
 
Rich, I just now entered ... "notification area" ... as search words (that
was what you meant, right) into Start Search (in Vista) but that yieled
nothing.

As I previously wrote I solved this glitch by restoring an earlier Registry.

Thanks, Dave Horne
