System volume tray icon missing

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

Lately, my volume icon is missing from the tray. It's annoying to have
to go to Programs/Accessories/Entertainment/Volume control every time I
want to change the volume (yes, I know - I could make a shortcut on my
desktop).

In the Taskbar properties, I have the Volume icon set to "Always show".
That doesn't help though. Strangely, in these Taskbar properties, all
the tray icon images are messed up. For example, the volume icon looks
like a little yellow folder, not like a little speaker.

Any ideas on how to get that icon back?

Thanks!

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and answer
yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by right clicking on the
file and selecting Edit.

Please see my post above "Taskbar Icon Issue" I believe it is the same
issue.
