    I right clicked but there was not a "properties" button but rather a "task bar settings", right clicked that, and then right clicked on "Select which icons appear on the taskbar", and then right clicked the "volume" button and we are there.

    Now the problem is when I click on the volume icon on the taskbar it tells me at what percent the volume is but does not put the volume slider window on the screen for me to adjust; it was doing that but not anymore so I have to wander around to get it to work, whew really stinks.

    Same issues as earlier posts of jerbunk and tkittrell. New HP, after updates the volume and the network icon went missing. After two reboots, still missing. Just now after reading above, went back to system tray notification icons and was able to put checks in the boxes next to volume and network. Icons are now back.  Thanks!!
