I'm not sure why you don't see it.  As usual, in cases where an odd problem 
occurs, try rebooting.  If that doesn't solve the problem, then open the volume 
control in another way.  I believe you said you created a short cut but if I 
misunderstood or if there is some reason you want to open it in another way 
here is one:
open the run dialog.
type sndvol32 and press enter.  
The volume control will open.

  I just checked on how to cause the volume control icon to be shown in the 
system tray in Windows XP.  If hide inactive icons is unchecked and you don't 
see it, do the following:
  Open control panel.
  Open sound and audio devices.  
  Tab a few times and you will see a check box for showing the volume control 
icon in the system tray.  If it isn't checked, check it with the space bar, 
then tab to and activate the ok button.

  Check to see if hide inactive icons is checked or unchecked.  You don't want 
inactive icons hidden.  If it is checked, uncheck it with the space bar then 
tab to and activate the ok button.  To check this setting, do the following:
  New main steps start on new lines.
  Press the Windows key, then press escape.  You are now on the start button.
  Open the context menu.
  Up or down arrow until you get to properties and press enter.
  Shift tab once.
  Left arrow once to move to task bar properties.
  Tab a number of times and you will fand a check box that says hide inactive 
icons.  As I said above, uncheck this checkbox if it is checked, then tab to 
and activate the ok button.  
  If this is not the cause of the problem, let us know and we can look for a 
setting that causes the volume control to be shown in the system tray.

  I hope someone can help me. For some reason, I'm not seeing the volume 
control in my system tray. How do I get it to show up? I'm running Windows XP. 
Thanks much!
