Thanks for your thoughts.  I have found (according to someone on the Internet who is more knowledgeable than I) that the problem most probably lies with the file shell32.dll.  There is a scholarly discussion here: http://winhlp.com/node/16  One of the proposed repair exe program worked well for me (Patcher tool by Nars) and is found here: http://nars.aloj.net/download/shell32patch.zip Perhaps you can find some way to insert a similar routine into your excellent Windows repair program.  If so, won't you let me know?  Thank you.

General Computer Support / #11 "Repair Icons"

« on: February 19, 2014, 07:59:10 am »

Windows XP Professional w/all updates... Sony Vaio PCG series laptop... System tray shows 3 icons (indexing, network connections, power manager) although there should be more; running #11 Repair Icons corrects situation so 8 icons show (indexing, network connections, power manager + Quick Time, safely remove hdwr., remaining charge %, MSecurity Essentials, Autosizer).   Upon reboot, original 3 icons appear.  Said another way, #11 Repair Icons works; however, repair is not permanent.  Ideas?  Thank you.
