I know, it's a bike forum, but I also know there's some pretty savvy puter gurus on here...
I'm looking for a little help fixing a minor puter problem that is probably self-inflicted.
I have 8 external devices connected to my computer, some USB and some Firewire. Normally, when you start up a WinXP computer, there is an icon in the task bar for both the volume control and for recognizing external devices. Mine is missing on startup. I know I can go to control panel/sounds and audio devices and click the box to "place volume control in the Task bar", in fact, I put a short cut for that on my desktop. But I want it to do it on startup again, as it's a slight pia to do it manually.
I have done a lot of "tweaking" in the last year or so and somehow managed to disable this automatic feature. Any ideas on how I can fix this would be appreciated...
