Hi,

What exactly is the "info bar" ? Are you referring to the Quick Launch
toolbar?

Hi,
in german it is called "Informationsleiste". It's a bit tricky to find
out the english term - "taskbar notification area" is right, I think.
Anyway, I found a Tweak UI setting - "Show taskbar notification icons",
and since then it is back again. I'm still wondering how it got lost in
the first place.

I have had the exact same problem, so how do i "tweak UI settings"??
because nothing else seems to work.

I think it is a reference to the TweakUI free download software application:

enables you to configure windows xp a bit more.
