Battery icon vanished from sys tray -- HELP

The battery and AC power icons vanished from the sys tray. Is there a
way to get them to display again?

See if this helps:
Right-click a blank area on the TaskBar, click Properties> Taskbar tab. Click the
Customize button to adjust the settings for your Power Options notification area
icon, which may be disapppearing and reappearing due to the "Hide inactive icons"
option being enabled.
