    What would cause the Taskbar Icons to disappear? All of a sudden, with no apparent changes to my system, all the Icons on my taskbar disappeared and have not reappeared with subsequent reboots.

    The "Taskbar" as stated, not the Tray. If you insist, the left one.

    I do insist - there are 3 elements of the Taskbar - Quick Launch, Notification Area and the area between these two in which minimised peograms are shown.

    First step - right click on Taskbar > Properties > Taskbar tab - Taskbar appearance - is 'Show Quick Launch' checked?

    How did you become so intelligent, or should I say "knowledgeable?" Thank you for your timely and accurate solution. My bad.

    Post the inquiry solved and closed.
