| | This is a recurring problem for me. Both the network and volume icons are grayed out in the notification area options Properties for the Task Bar Notification Area. Rebooting does not fix it. There must be something more going on here. I have all of the updates installed. I have looked in the registry for the items mentioned in anther thread for XP, but they are not present in the Vista Registry. Ron Rossi |

| vista home premium | Re: Network icon vanished from system tray Great fix guys. Not only does my laptop NOT give me the option of using the AERO interface anymore, the icon is still missing.  What's it going to take to "fix" this?Reinstall? |

| Vista Business 32 bit | Re: Network icon vanished from system tray I had Sound & Network icon missing & options greyed out. Logging out/latest updates/etc failed to fix. However, deleting [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify] "PastIconsStream" "IconStreams" finally worked for me |
