Windows 10: deck top icon

I'm missing a few decktops icon and wish to know where are

:)

 

Why do deck top icons have a gray x in the bottom left hand corner? I'm using windows 10.

Short time ago deck top icons started showing a speaker, then 2 people in a box, then a green circle with an x and now there is a gray x at the bottom left hand corner. Can someone tell me what is going on with this?

Thanks

6300 - unknown icon at top of screen

Simple first question from a newbie,

My new Nokia 6300 has an icon which looks like

o_o

at the top of the screen, next to the battery icon (it looks like upturned spectables, or an old reel-to-reel tape deck!). The User Guide does not mention what it means.

Does anyone out there know?

Many thanks,

Ian
