"Take a look at Microsoft's KB on the issue:
When you start a computer that is
running Windows Vista or Windows 7 for
the first time, one or more of the
following icons do not appear in the
notification area in the lower-right
corner of the screen.
The Network icon
The Volume icon
The Power icon
You may also notice that the check boxes for the related system icons are
not selected on the Notification Area
tab of the Taskbar and Start Menu
Properties dialog box. However, the
network, volume, and power features
function correctly even though their
associated icons do not appear in the
notification area. You can access
these features by using Control Panel.
If you gave your computer enough time
to finish the startup service
initializations before you restarted
it, and one or more of the system
icons still do not appear in the
notification area after the restart,
you can make them reappear by deleting
two subkeys from the registry.
Microsoft provides a ""Fix It For Me"" file that will automatically make the changes needed to fix this problem. You can download the Fix It For Me solution from here, or follow these steps to fix it yourself:
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify
In the Details pane, click the IconStreams registry entry.
On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click Yes.
In the Details pane, click the PastIconsStream registry entry.
On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click Yes.
Exit Registry Editor.
Either restart the computer or the Explorer.exe process.*
*The easiest way to restart explorer is to click the start menu, press Ctrl+Shift and right-click on the empty area of the start menu and select ""Exit Explorer"".
Then press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, click File -> New Tasks (Run) and type explorer and click OK. Close the Task Manager when you're done."
