HI
1. Back up the Registry by creating a restore point.
2. Go to Start > Run (or Windows-key + R), type in regedit and hit OK.
3. Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cla sses\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Wi ndows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify.
4. Delete the values IconStreams and PastIconsStream.
5. Open up the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), go to the Processes tab, select explorer.exe and click End Process.
6. Open the Applications tab and click New Task at the bottom-right of the window.
7. In the message box that pops up type in explorer.exe and hit OK.
8. Explorer.exe will reload, and the missing icons should now be back in the system-tray where they belong.
9. Then if the volume bar isnt there, go to taskbar properties (where the volume was gray) and simply tick the box.

Sameer...
Could just be the rights on the (if default) "C:\documents and settings\all users" folder have gotten mucked up.
Are you logged in with administrative rights or regular rights?
Logon as Administrator,
From a command prompt on 1 machine, try
CACLS "C:\Documents and settings\all users" /E /T /C /G everyone:F
See if that fixes your problem.

hi sameer
Finally try this and see
EXPLORER.EXE corrupted or infected?
1. open registry then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution.options
2. Under this key there will be subkeys named explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe. Delete the explorer and iexplorer keys entirely. They should not be listed under the Image File Execution.Options key.
3. Close the Registry Editor.
4. Restart the computer.
