    Doesn't matter now as a system restore has sorted OP's issue.

    I have the same problem from time to time with the volume icon disappearing on my Dell T3600 running Windows 7 Ultimate. A reboot always restores it but I still can't pin down any particular action that makes it disappear. It's mildly annoying.
