At the moment both network and volume icons are visible. when they disappear
, if I go to system tray properties the option to show the volume and
network icons are unavailable. the option is there but the wording is in
grey font. Initially I googled the problem and a result sent me to Brinks
web site. Brink was a frequent poster on this group some time ago.His site
dealt with the Group policies editor which Vista HP does not have. would
like to know what is causing this problem as I havve not installed anything
other than updatesTIA Keith
