Vista's special system tray notification icons missing and disable - Vista Help
Hey all,

I've got the solution...

In the notification area properties you'll notice an option to customize how explorer handles pevious tray icons. The only problem with this is explorer saves a setting for EVERY icon ever loaded.

For some reason if you clear this history of icons; the power, network, volume....icons will all reappear.

- brilliant i hear you say.

CLEARING THE TRAY ICON HISTORY

> run 'regedit.exe'

> goto key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify'

> delete keys 'IconStreams' & 'PastIconsStream'

> start task manager, go to processes and kill explorer.exe

> go to applications in the task manager, hit new task and type 'explorer.exe'

> explorer will now reboot and woohey, your icons should return.

> crazy if you ask me.........


I would have thought it better to restart explorer by logging off and
back on, rather than killing and restarting it. I don't know if it's
more reliable on Vista, but I sometimes found on previous versions of
Windows that killing explorer and restarting it did not always reload
all the icons in the system tray anyway, particularly those belonging to
other applications which are loaded at logon.
