[at-l] Calling All Geeks, yet again---

[Leslie Booher]

All others may stop reading here.

Tonight, my sound/volume icon by the clock at the bottom right of the screen is gone completely.  I have a Vista operating system.  HP computer.  Desktop, if that matters.  Who knows what matters?  And it didn't hide from lack of use.  I used it constantly.

I've checked online chats and found that this is not an uncommon problem, but the fix is not something that I can fathom.  I can follow it just so far, and I run out of the words that I'm to type in.  I got to the Registry Editor, like the directions said, then typed in "iconstreams", but my computer said that it couldn't find iconstreams.  That puts me out in the cold, as far as the "fix" goes.  I've rebooted, to no avail.  

When I right click at the bottom and go to Properties, then Notification Area, there is a place to click for the volume icon, but it's blocked out so that I can't click on it.  

Does anyone have ANY ideas about how to deal with this?  I promise that, if you can help, I won't make any snide remarks about anyone else's need for new basketball plays, drunk girls offering rides, etc.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
