is this a game you have on your pc or a link to the actual website? if it is a game you have on the pc then go to the game itself in start all programs and right click on it and create shortcut and select desktop as the destination.

Ok, all, this is what I have. When I did the restore I was running IE 8, but had IE 7 when it restored back to Wed. So I assume I am now in 7. My tool bar seems to be Google, I don't think I have the IE tool bar which seems to be my problem. When I had it normally two days ago I had both. I had the IE bar (status, with tools, favs, etc), and also the Google bar. Now I only have the Google although it's restored back to Weds. Boy is that confusing enough??? BTW Mikie, I have hit the ALT and all I get is a dissappearing "circle".

try going to Start, Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer, click the "+" sign next to My Computer, "+" next to Local Drive - C, "+" next to Windows, click the word System32, on the right side of the screen - double click sndvol32.exe. That should install it. or you can do a search for sndvol32.exe and double click it. this is where to find what you were looking for control panel>sound and audio device and check the button "place volume icon in the task bar" try this first. if those do not work then go here and read the replies in the post replies #2#3 tell how to replace the needed exe file. Volume Icon Missing System Tray

This was the XP way---> start>control panel>sounds and audio devices then check the box place volume icon in the task bar? You can try that above on Vista and see if it works... The option may not be there on Vista though.... Or you can try below: Right Click on Taskbar > Properties > Notification Area tab > under system icons, check Volume.
