XP NOTIFICATION Area MISSING

The Notification Area of the taskbar on XP-PRO is not Displayed
========================================
During a clean install of XP-PRO, a user account with administrator
privledges required to "back-up" The Administrator" account was created.
When logged in to this "user account" the notification area is missing from
the taskbar; it does not display.

In the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" window "Notification area" is
greyed out. Consequently, there is no opportunity to Hide/Display icons or
Customize the Notification Area

IF one logs in to "The Administrator" account, the taskbar notification area
with appropriate icons displays as would be expected.

I expect I buggered up the registry somehow, but where I have no idea where
to look. Even if it is a registry error, I have no way to know what
value-name and values would be appropriate.

Help to fix this problem will be very appreciated.
thank you

Why not just delete and recreate the account?
