Taskbar issues

All of a sudden, the taskbar icons that I usually have are gone. The only one that is showing, is the two little monitor thingies. I like to have the volume icon and the Norton icon. I went to Control Panel-Taskbar and Start Menu-put a check on "Hide Inactive Icons"-Customize

Only the icons that are showing are in the Current Items but my volume, and Norton icons are in the past items. I used the dropdown menu to put whatever I wanted to Always Show, clicked Apply..nothing there. Task Mgr says Norton is running but I like it to be on the taskbar. So I opened the program up and pretty much had to place it there even though it's programmed to start with Windows.

The volume icon however Control Panel-Sound and whatever devices has the box checked to show icon in taskbar. I uncheck and check, I mess with other stuff, come back and check it again, apply, nothing.

What the heck now?

You could try the taskbar repair tool at this link.

Thanks, it asked me to pay though :( but I haven't had anymore issues with it so it's all good :)
