    I just got my new Studio XPS 16, but accidentally disabled the quickset tray icon. I've checked registry and tried reinstalling quickset, but nothing i do can get it back. Is there any other way to do it without having to reinstall my whole computer? (as i've already installed several other programs, it'll be quite some effort). Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    :)Narina

    Hey!

    As long as you didn't *uninstall* Quickset it's an easy recover:

    Follow this path:
    C:\Program Files\Dell\QuickSet

    Then Launch the Quickset application in the folder.

    Hope that helps!

    Cin ;) :)

    Hey, thanks for the reply, i've tried that, and all it comes up with is the windows mobility center. Is there a way to access quickset options?

    Do you see a large Dell logo on the Mobility Center? If so, you have Quickset Installled.

    Yeah, quickset is installed, just that the system tray icon isn't showing, which is extremely incredibaly inconvenient, and despite my best efforts, i can't get it to show!
