I have an OQO 02 UMPC which came with Vista Ultimate pre-installed.

I had my wi-fi and battery power status icons configured to always show in
the System Tray.

After installing SP1 via automatic updates on May 13, those two items are
gone from my System Tray, and I can't figure out how to get them back.

Help?

Right-click system tray, choose Properties, go to the Notification Area
tab. Check or uncheck what you want to show.

If something is checked but not showing, try unchecking, saving, then
rechecking. You may even need to try a reboot between changes.
