Vista Tutorial - Wireless Network Icon gone (WVista)

Hi, I have the new Windows Vista and the wireless network icon is gone. When
I go to properties/ notification area/ the network and volume options are in
gray so i can't click them to enable them. Only the clock option is available.

What can i do? please let me know.
Thanks
Nat

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

I've got the solution...

In the notification area properties you'll notice an option to customize how explorer handles previous tray icons. The only problem 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 HISTORY

> run 'regedit.exe'

> goto key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify'

> delete keys 'IconStreams' & 'PastIconsStream'

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

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

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