what program did you use that got rid of it? and are you use you just don't have everything set to show or such? the arrow goes away if there is nothing to hide.

You may have "accidently" turned off "Hide Icons".
Right click on the taskbar, and select the last option "Properties".
Last check box on the popup is "Hide Inactive Icons" - make sure it is checked, and you should be fixed...

Don't forget, the arrow doesn't really hide everything on the tray... it only "shows" the items which are hidden.
What I'm guessing is that whatever you did you reset the options back to "hide when inactive", therefore you will never see the arrow because nothing is hidden. But, after a while they may become inactive and windows will hide them, this is when the arrow will appear.

Just reinforcing the opinions already posted-
you should be able to choose which icons you'd like automatically hidden. So:
Right-click taskbar>Properties>(Task bar tab)>Customize
Now select which icons you'd windows to "always hide", "always show" or "hide when inactive".

Once you have some set as "always hide" then the arrow will appear.

Course you may have done something really bad to windows and none of this is going to help, but try anyway.

Hope this helps,
Patrick
