You can also take the advantage of the Registry to enable the inactive Icon tray that you are looking for. The Registry Editor will make the change according to your need. So just open the Registry Editor Window and the navigate to the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer' Now right Click on that and make a new DWORD entry and enter value of that as one and you are done.

Hey, I also come with this issue which disable the Inactive icon tray. When i am getting this kind of problem then i am logged off the account and then logged in again to work with the same. But some time when this also does not work for me then i am simply give a restart to the PC and it started working again so i am suggesting you the same as playing with the Registry key is not safe.
