Does your Boot Camp program often disappear from the tray icon area in Windows 7?
Short of identifying the underlying issue, a simple workaround I have found is to pin the Boot Camp executable to the taskbar (should be in C:\Program Files\Boot Camp\Bootcamp.exe).
Then you can use the Windows 7 shortcuts: Win + number, on the Apple keyboard Cmd + number to, to reload it quickly, and then follow up immeditately with the volume controls or whatnot.
In games you may have to alt tab, or click outside the window, OR press the Win (Cmd) key once so that it activates the menu to get the focus, then press Cmd + number to reactivate Bootcamp quickly.
Any other tips welcome
