Laptop Battery Indicator by Paul Calcagno
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.
