Unfortunately, you can’t just copy the files into C:\Windows\system32. Here’s what I had to do to replace the.

dll files from C:\Windows\system32 were messed up. I found a nice explanation here as to how to extract the files from the Windows 7 installation DVD using 7-Zip, which I already like for other zipping and unzipping tasks.


A week ago, my power, network, and volume icons disappeared from the tray area of Windows 7. When I chose “Customize notification icons” and then “Turn system icons on or off”, the choices were grayed out like the image to the left.
