Solved: System Tray Missing
That's right i don't have one...
Running WinXP Home SP2 and it seems my system tray and ALL icons have vanished, any idea's on what could have caused this and could anyone help me to get it back.

Thanks.

Hi

If you are OK with working in the Registry
Navigate to this key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor er
In the right hand pane double click on the Dword entry
NoTrayItemsDisplay
change it's value to Zero
