Hi, Have you tried restarting the computer? Sometimes the taskbar icons don't show up and require a restart or two to have them show up again. -- Gary Tsang Microsoft MVP - Windows XP Shell/User http://www.microsoft.com/mvp "EAKAZ" <EAKAZ RemoveThis (~=~) discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:EFF81CFD-8E24-4AA4-AA28-483D5BA646BB (~=~) microsoft.com... > Hi, > > Some of the icons on the bottom right hand corner of the screen were lost > recently, including the "Safely remove Hardware" icon.

you say 'some of the icons' in the lower right, so that makes me think that nothing is really wrong, just needs to be changed a bit. Check to see how you have them set, to always show, hide when inactive, etc. To do that, first right click your taskbar>properties, and see if the Hide Inactive Icons box is checked. Then, if that box is checked, click the 'customize' box next to it, and there you will find some options for how you want certain icons displayed.

Hi Ivee I know this function, I've always choose "hide when inactive" for most of the icons, including the "safely remove hardware" icon. But now the icon, together with power icon, and sound icon is lost totally. When I tried to customise the setting again, it shows all these icons as "past icons". I could get the sound and power icon back by setting in the respective file in control panel, but it seems that these 2 icons would go lost again after the next restart of the computer. As for the "safely remove hardware" icon, I do not know how to get it back. Can you help me on this.

AFAIK you need to use a valid address for authentication if you post using Google Groups. Better: Stick with OE as you're using now and access the MS newsgroups using the MS newsserver news://msnews.microsoft.com. No subscriptions or passwords and you can "munge" your address.
