First up I am a not a too computer smart 70yr old. For some unknown reason the volume control icon has disappeared from my task bar (when I move my mouse hard right and it shows battery state. internet access, language, volume etc.) which I use continuously. I have been to every avenue I can think of but am being informed this control has been de-activated and despite my efforts cant get it back.
Can you please assist. :D

Thanks so much for your fast response. Have already checked this - it already shows as you advised. Tried changing to " Hide: and then changing back. When doing so I get a short message "This notification is not active" Does this assist in finding a solution?

happened on my wife's laptop too..

I think (if I remember right) I cleared the flash player cache and settings via control panel..

I'm almost sure that's what did it..
