ctfmonb recovery. still having problems. Infection gone but......

Still having two distinct problems. Just recovered from ctfmonb. Performed several fixes. 1st problem now is no matter what usb device that I plug in, the safely remove hardware icon does not appear in task tray. I have plugged in several devices and checked each one in device properties / policies and all so far are checked optimize for quick removal. I have tried to change this to optimize for performance and the icon still does not appear in task tray. What has happened? Whole house is trained to use safely remove hardware buttons and I don't have it in me to give everyone another tutorial. Is there anyway to get this back please?
Also, the second problem is that my volume control icon will not auto load on boot up. I go to control panel / sound and it is checked so that it will appear in task tray. The only way I can get this to happen is to uncheck it, hit apply, then check it and hit ok. It then appears. Big hassel.. any solutions?
