Thank you for the help. it was very useful, not being able to figure out what happened to my network icon was really starting to piss me off.

Great.. Thank you so much…
I wonder what happened when the volume and network icons disppeared… The last time i saw them was just before I installed Norton 360.

Thank you.

YES! my volume, network, and power icons instantly appeared after i did this. Now, im just wondering if i can delete that trayicons program/icon off my computer or does it need to stay on for the changes to remain in effect.

You’re the man. Thanks especially for asking to restart Explorer to propagate registry changes instead of making people log off or reboot.
