If the Tray Icon is deactivated, you can access the VMware Tools by clicking Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> VMware Tools

Ok, thank you. How can I re-activate the (missing) Systray icon?

Go to Control Panel -> VMware Tools.

Then on the "Options" tab, choose "Show VMware Tools in the taskbar".
