RE: No power icon

Hi. Yeah system tray no icon. I can't select it it's gray-ed out. Any
ideas? I have a Packard Bell EasyNote.

Thanks

The fix I found (and can't recall where I found it) that works GREAT i
(this is verbatim what was on the site)

I've got the solution..

In the notification area properties you'll notice an option t
customize how explorer handles previous tray icons. The only proble
with this is explorer saves a setting for EVERY icon ever loaded

For some reason if you clear this history of icons; the power, network
volume....icons will all reappear

- brilliant i hear you say

CLEARING THE TRAY ICON HISTOR

Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify

> delete keys 'IconStreams' & 'PastIconsStream

> start task manager, go to processes and kill explorer.ex

> go to applications in the task manager, hit new task and typ
'explorer.exe

> explorer will now reboot and woohey, your icons should return
