This most probably cause by executing a modified explorer.exe or new modified .dll
file(s) on Windows (sytem32 as other says) running Windows booting directly to Windows
Desktop by means of bypassing Welcome Screen of a certain User/Administrator... So
in order to view normally system icons, others advise to go to Windows Task Manager
(right click blank part on task bar or ctrl-alt-del to display it) by stoping or
ending process of explorer.exe then re-run a new task for explorer.exe again to restore
the explorer processing.
To take this comment in short, In order to display a regular or normal taskbar/system
tray icons, explorer.exe must execute normally. To do this others log-off the windows
then log-in again, in this way it execute Windows desktop environment display normally.
So, to summarize the solution is to run/execute the Explorer.exe normally. By creating
a user with a password restart the computer, booting up normally to Windows Welcome
screen, open a certain user, input the assigned password (regardless of account
administrator or something...) then your done, execute Windows normally, all desktop
icons, arrangement, sidebars, taskbar, system tray icons, will all be displayed there.
Added Suggestion: If you have TweakUI program for Windows: 1. show taskbar notification
icons on Taskbar and Start Menu must be "checked", 2. on Logon bar "checked" a certain
Show User or multiple user to log-on to welcome screen and under it 3. On "unchecked"
Auto log-on.
Summary: Create a User with a password then run Windows XP normally by not bypassing
the Windows Screen menu/selection, then it will execute the way it is!!!
Thanks and I hope this suggestions would help someone out there! Good Luck! :-)
