How to restore 'Airport Base Station Agent' icon in system tray ?

Hi,
In WinXP,
I recently updated my AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n with the latest firmware (7.1.1),
and somehow, small icon (named AirPort Base Station Agent) suddenly disappeared.
I searched everywhere in AirPort Utility to restore the icon on the system tray, but failed to find how to.

If anyone knows how to restore the icon, please help!

Thanks,
HJ

I think it's almost impossible to restore the icon once you un-check "Show the icon on system tray" check box from "Airport Disk Setup" pop-up windows.
It seems like kind of annoying bug by Apple S/W team's laziness for windows users ...

If you're windows users, please do not disable the icon on your system tray (at right bottom corner).

Seems like nobody knows how to restore the icon.
And my PC(Win XP) does not reconize usb ext. hdd since the icon was disabled.

I wish I could return my AEBS and get refund.
Is it possible to get refund after 30 days from apple online store?
Not sure the AEBS is defective or not,
but I'm sure that its USB connection with external HDD on my Win XP doesn't work since I disabled the small icon from my system tray.
So, is it good enough to request full refund ?

Any help would be appreciated.
