To place the volume control icon in the taskbar, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start menu.
2. Click Control Panel.
3. Then click Sound, Speech, and Audio Devices.
4. Click Sounds and Audio Devices to launch the Sound and Audio Devices properties.
5. On the Volume tab, locate the text labeled "Device Volume" and place a check mark next to the text labeled "Place volume icon in the taskbar."
6. Finally click on Apply.

You should now have the volume icon in the taskbar. Now all you need to do is double-click this icon to bring up your Volume Control panel.
