Sound icon will not show in right hand task bar

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Rightclick open area of the Taskbar and click Properties.
Under the Taskbar tab click the Customize button.
Under Current Items is Volume icon listed and under the Behavior
column is it listed as Hide when Inactive?
Click on it and then the down arrow, you'll have three (3) choices:
Always hide - Always Show - Hide when Inactive, select Always show and
click OK.
