Win XP Home SP2.
I have applications that should and did have icons in the taskbar. They are no longer there. Also, when I check the box for having an icon in the taskbar for Windows features like the speaker (volume control icon), it is ignored by windows. I am not a newbie, I know about hiding inactive icons, etc... I do not have hiding icons selected at all. I have checked and unchecked, started and restared the computer and the apps to try to trick windows into showing the icons, all to no avail. This happened when I removed a couple of Security applications: Comodo Firewall and Spyware Terminator. Both had HIPS enabled. The icons were there before I removed these apps, now they are not. I have subsequently reinstalled new versions of theset two apps. Still no icons for:

Volume Control
Nvidia Mixer (my audio mixer for onboard audio card)
Spyware Terminator
BOClean (Anti-Trojan)
Windows Defender (antimalware)
Spyware Guard
... Could be another one or two that I don't remember.
This is actually a pain. Can you help?

you could test if icons are showing up under a new profile. If so an easy solution may be to delete and recreate your profile, backing up your personal data first of course.
