Can you help me get sound icon on taskbar?

Hi,
[FONT=&quot]My Info.....Dell Inspiron 1720, purchased summer ’08, Windows Vista Home Premium, OEM, Service Pack 2, 32 bit, 4 GB ram, [/FONT]


Can't seem to get sound icon on taskbar. I used to go into Settings/Control Panel/Sounds and click on Show on taskbar but can't find that option anymore. I have downloaded a shortcut to Sounds onto the desktop but it is multisteps Sound Shortcut/Speakers-Headphones/Levels/ then I can adjust the sounds but have to do all that just to mute it!'

Thanks so much,
Barb
