I had this problem with icons disappearing from my notebook system tray. This was
after I tried installing XPSP2, but had to uninstall it because it caused my Outlook
Express to stop retrieving emails. I discovered that login out and back in using
an user account\profile with password helped to restore some icons to the system
tray. This worked, but sometimes not all the icons would appear. I ran the uninstall
of the Universal Plug and Play feature from the Add\Remove Windows components and
it fixed the problem. When I re-installed the UPnP support, the problem returned.
I disabled the UPnP service and the the SSDP Service and the problem has gone away.
I am leaving the UPnP disabled since I don't need it. I don't have any network
PnP devices that would require this feature. So, the UPnP can stay disabled along
with the SSDP Service, which searches for UPnP network devices.
