Hello Brian,

Go to Start =3D> Run and typein "regedit" {without the quotes} and press
Enter

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
\Explorer

In the right-hand pane, look for either or both of these Values:

NoAutoTrayNotify
NoTrayItemsDisplay

Always backup the key(s) you intend to edit or delete. To backup
(export) a key, highlight the key, and in the File drop-down menu
select Export. Select a location you can remember and give the
saved .reg file a suitable name. This is a safety measure in case
something goes wrong - double-clicking on the saved .reg file and
merging the contents of this file will put things back the way they
were.

When you've done that, right-click on the Values and Delete them.

Close Registry Editor
Logoff and Logon for the changes to take effect, or restart the
computer.
