What should I do if the volume icon on my computer desktop disappears?
Although the taskbar volume icon is not conspicuous, it is used quite frequently. If it suddenly disappears, it will have a great impact on our use. Below I have summarized several methods to restore the taskbar volume icon. If you are troubled by this problem, you might as well try the following methods:
The first type: "Control Panel" - "Sounds and Audio Devices" - "Put the volume icon into the taskbar" has been manually turned off, just turn it on.
If the first method does not work, it may be because the sndvol32.exe file is missing. You can try the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Find the sndvol32.ex_ file in the C:WINDOWSsystem32 path. If the file is found, you can copy it to the system32 folder and rename it to sndvol32.exe. 2. If you have access to another computer, you can also copy the sndvol32.exe file from that computer to the system32 folder of your computer. These steps can help you recover the sndvol32.exe file and resolve related issues.
1. Open My Computer - Tools - Folder Options - View - "Hide extensions for known file types", uncheck this and confirm;
2. Put the XP CD into the CD-ROM drive, for example, your CD-ROM drive letter is H drive;
3. Search for the file sndvol32.ex_ under the H drive;
Copy and paste the searched sndvol32.ex_ file into the c:windowssystem32 directory. Then right-click on the sndvol32.ex_ file and select Rename to change it to sndvol32.exe. Finally, double-click the sndvol32.exe file.
If neither of the above two methods can restore the volume icon, when checking whether the startup item has been deleted through the software, the startup of the volume icon may be accidentally deleted. At this point, you can try to check the "Put volume icon into taskbar" option in the taskbar settings to make the volume icon reappear. However, it should be noted that the volume icon may not be restored after restarting and needs to be set in the control panel again. It is worth mentioning that in this case, the network connection icon may also disappear.
In this case, just restore the deleted items in the startup items in the registry.
"Start" - "Run" enter regedit to open the registry, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun in order and create a new string "Systray" in its right window (right-click on Run to create), key value (double-click on Systray to edit) It is "c:windowssystem32Systray.exe". If it is a win2000 system, it is "c:winntsystem32Systray.exe". That's it.
What to do if the computer volume icon disappears
One: "Control Panel" - "Sounds and Audio Devices" - "Put the volume icon into the taskbar" has been manually turned off. Just open it.
Second type: Check "Put the volume icon into the taskbar", which is invalid. Lost sndvol32.exe, the file path is C:\WINDOWS\system32. You can upload sndvol32.exe on another machine, or find the sndvol32.exe on a system CD. Copy the file to system32 and rename it to sndvol32.exe
Third type: If you have used software to delete startup items and accidentally deleted the startup of the volume icon. In this case, if "Put volume icon into taskbar" is checked, the volume icon appears, but the volume icon is not restored after restarting, and must be set again in the control panel. (In this case, the network connection icon may also disappear).
In this case, just restore the deleted items in the startup items in the registry.
"Start" - "Run" enter regedit to open the registry, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run in order and create a new string "Systray" in its right window (right-click on Run to create) , the key value (double-click to edit on Systray) is "c:\windows\system32\Systray.exe", if it is a win2000 system, it is "c:\winnt\system32\Systray.exe" and that's it.
