Default Laptop Battery Indicator

On my son's Dell laptop (Vista Home Premium, SP2) his battery indicator icon
has disappeared off his taskbar. I'm sure there's a way to find it and have
it show up in the lower right taskbar location but can't help him find it
since my Vista system is a desktop.
Can anyone help us locate and re-instate this feature?
Thanks............................Paul C.

Right-click on his taskbar and select Properties. Go to the Notification
Area tab and put a checkmark in the box next to Power.
