    That's not quick launch, that's the system tray.

    Anyways... right-click the taskbar > Properties > Notification Area tab > Under "System Icons", make sure Volume and Network are checked.

    There is also a way to force a full refresh of the system tray. A search here at NBR should locate a post or two that describes the process.

    I got to thinking about the QuickLaunchButtons again and uninstalled them (after downloading the executable to install them again if I choose to do so).

    The little blue lit up buttons (e.g.: mute; volume up/down) still function.
