Sndvol32.exe from the windows xp download

[srikanth_20]

I have XP Home,and for some reason,my volume control icon is missing from my taskbar.When I opened "Sounds and Audio Device Properties",and checked the "place volume icon in the taskbar",I get a pop-up announcing that "Windows cannot display the volume control on the taskbar because the volume control program has not been installed.To install,use add/remove programs in the control panel"
Where do I find this volume control program to install it?
This may all be my fault,as I have been trying to remove some freeware that stubbornly refuses to be unistalled,and also,I have been trying to modify the Startup menu so Thunderbird (which I recently installed to replace Outlook Express) would launch at Windows startup,but all that is another story.
Anyway,I sorely miss the volume control icon!
