I have a Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop.
It's running Windows xp with SP-2
running SP-2 firewall
running Avast anti-virus

I want to see the Power & sound Icons on the task bar like I did before SP-2
update.

When turning on, only the clock and Avast show in the task bar.
I can go to Control panel and uncheck "always show icon on the task bar",
then apply, then recheck and apply and then they show in the task bar, UNTIL
I turn off the computer or reboot.

Is there a cure?
Thanks
Tom J
