After running several utilities that clean the registry (coming soon) i noticed that although my computer was running faster, a registry cleanup tool disabled my network, power and power systray icons:  Here is the quick fix:

Rededit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

and replace Local_Machine with Local_User

delete all HIDE keys, if they are there…

In writing my notes I see that a detailed How To is here:

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/fix-for-when-clock-volume-power-or-network-icons-are-missing-and-grayed-out-in-windows-vista/

which also states the location to download the Registry FIX, unzip, double click, Log Off, and back on … then Right Click on your Notification SysTray area , not on an Icon, but in the blank area, and re-check mark all that you want visible…)  Kudo’s to the weblink above for reducing my notes, and making available the reg download to fix.
