no windows security center icon in taskbar

i know really dumb to say but i would like the icon there...have gone
to firewall...change the way security center notifies me...have tried
don't notify me but display icon...yes notify me and display the
icon...but no icon appears...have also gone to the windows firewall
settings dialouge box and have checked the box notify me when firewall
blocks a new program...but still no icon.......firewall does work and
blocks programs can't understand why i don't have an icon though.

I'm not totally sure but I think it only appears when there is a
problem that needs fixing, so if everything is switched on in security
centre there wont be a icon in the taskbar.

If you need to see if it works, try turning the firewall off and see
what happens, just don't forget to turn it back on.

You will only see a notification icon in the "Tray" when there is a problem,
such as when the firewall is turned off, UAC is turned off or Windows cannot
detect the presence of antivirus software.
