@Boggin - Yes a system restore did not fix the problem even when restored to the oldest date shown on the list. I will try your suggestion as soon as I'm able.

@Willy2 - Thanks will give that a try.

Changing the DWORD value to 0 would have the same effect rather than deleting it.

I may have a look at that later on another laptop as the system tray icons are very slow to populate on boot, so thanks for the link, JR.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm currently out on the road, when I get back home this weekend I will try out all suggestions and report back.
Thanks everyone.

OK finally had a little to time to test out some of the suggestions. Unfortunately none worked, but I did find out what is going on. The PC with this issue was connected to a domain for  short time. What I discovered is that that particular domain has a script that locks down some computer functions with a policy.

The person who is supporting that domain has no idea who wrote the script or how to undo what it does. The script seems to affect some computers differently from others based on who the user is. Features are locked down for certain individuals but not for others. What I have determined is that it is using a policy based on group membership. The PC, even though it is no longer connected to that domain it still has a stuck policy.

I decided to stop spending so much time on this and wiped the HD, reinstalled W7 from a saved image. Now all the W7 features work correctly.

Thanks to all who submitted their ideas. Much appreciated.
