Notification Area/System Tray

[Guest MagicJS]

My whole Notification Area/System Tray has disappeared. There's not a single

icon there when I boot up, just the clock.

 

When I go to Taskbar properties, "Show the Clock" check box is there and

working, but the "Hide inactive icons" box is disabled and the text above it

grayed out as well.

 

Could this have required a registry key change? Thanks in advance.
