Andrew, thanks for trying to help.

I had configured both of these icons to always show, so I meant to imply
that I know how to check for this setting.

I should have specified that now those two items do not show up in the list
of icons that I can show or hide. They are simply gone.

BTW: I have now un-installed SP1 and rebooted, but these two icons are
still unavailable.

I tried looking at the properties of these two devices, hoping to find a
checkbox to expose the icon, but I'm finding no such solution.

On other message boards, I have seen this problem solved by returning to a
restore point, but I had to turn that service off a while back. I forgot to
turn it back on, so a restore point is not available. Another solution
posted is to re-install from my DVD. I will do that as a last resort, but I
can't believe no one knows a registry tweak, or driver upgrade, or some
such...

Cheers.
