This has been asked before ( 11 months ago by someone else) Its nothing to do with hide inactive icons, and yes I have gone into volume control and ticked the box which says place volume icon in the taskbar, but like the other person, everytime i shut down the pc, it disappears, yet when i open the volume properties, it's ticked to say its on the taskbar, windows help and support only tell you to upgrade to sp2, (my o/s is xp and sp2) ...anyone have any clues as to why its not there, I can put it there, but on shutdown/ hibernation etc it goes........

Go to start, control panel, system, hardware, device manager. Click the plus sign next to sound... Right click on either Realtek, or other non-codec. Click on uninstall. Restart your computer. Allow computer to reinstall driver. Go to audio properties, and recheck put volume control on taskbar. This should resolve your issue. If not, go to start, run, "msconfig" without quotes, click ok. On the top right click on startup. Click disable all. Scroll through until you see your antivirus software. Check that. Click apply. Click close. Restart your computer. Recheck (if not checked) show volume control on taskbar.

Have you tried:
cl Start

Accessories
Entertainment
right-click the volume control icon
select create shortcut
cut/paste or drag to the desktop
can you drag the shortcut down?
will it drag onto the bar with Alt+drag?
