Fix for volume control disappearing in VistaVolume Control Icon Disappeared.

Thank you this worked perfectly.  Edited registry, and rebooted.  Thank you so much.  Now if I only knew what caused the problem, but my guess is it was a download of Firefox.

Simple Fix for Disappearing Volume Icon on Windows XPVolume Control Icon Disappeared.

I had this pesky problem -- the volume icon disappearing -- for a year before I finally decided "ENOUGH" and set about finding out why.  I guess I had a very long fuse. Like many others, I'd click on the Control Panel, choose set-up for the volume, and follow the prompts to tick the boxes to place on my taskbar.  It would stay active for *that* session but would disappear on any reboot or just because it decided to mess with me.  I would have to untick the box, exit, go back into the control panel, tick the box again, to "jigger" the icon to appear.I followed the advice in another forum to right click on the taskbar itself, and select "properties" and make sure that the "Hide Inactive Icons" wasn't ticked, because if it was, then the volume icon, when inactive, would no longer be visible. This seemed logical until I realized that box was already NOT ticked, so that couldn't be doing it.Instead, I ticked the box "Hide Inactive Icons" on the Taskbar Properties, and then, "Customize."  When I did that, I could see the list of icons available to me on that taskbasr, including the Volume Icon.  I changed the option to "Never Hide" for that icon (and any others), and then "OK" to save.  Once I did that, although I had "Hide Inactive Icons" ticked, I customized the icons individually to never hide, and although that seemed at cross-purposes, it finally worked beautifully.  The volume icon never disappears, now, and life is much irritating.
