When you try to add the Volume icon, you receive:
Windows cannot display the volume control on the taskbar because the Volume Control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
If the Sndvol32.exe program is missing or damaged, your installation will exhibit this behavior.
To fix the problem:
1. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM, holding down the SHIFT key to prevent AutoPlay.
2. Open a CMD prompt and type:
Expand :i386sndvol32.ex_ %windir%system32dllcachesndvol32.exe
Expand :i386sndvol32.ex_ %windir%system32sndvol32.exe
3. Add the Volume icon.
