'Getting Rid of the Little Yellow Speaker in the Tray'

The little speaker thingy used to be in my tray. Then one day I right clicked on it to make it do something, and it dissapeared! When I rebooted it still wasn't there, and when I tried to change the volume the hard way [with volume control in control panal] it said it couldn't find sndvol32.exe. Eventually I had to do a google search to find the .exe so I could change the volume. Is there some [il]logical reason sndvol32.exe dissapeared itself, or am I right about my comp being possesed?

If you're trying to get the volume control icon back in your system tray try this: Go to Control Panel ->Sound and Audio then put a check mark in 'put volume icon in task bar.' If there already is a check mark there uncheck it then recheck it and hit apply and ok.

Well, that's easy to answer. It's just another marvel courtesy of Windoze.
