Connection icon disappears?

[Kenny]

My connection icon in System Tray sometimes disappears although the
connection is open and working, cones back after disconnect and reconnect.
It has happened using both dial-up and USB broadband modem. Running XP/SP1
with IE/OE 6, firewall and AV up to date and use AdAware and Spybot
regularly. PC otherwise working well and this is no big deal, just
wondering what's causing it.

Notification Area - Hidden Chevron Missing
For some users setting the very first icon to Always Hide, restores the arrow.
This behavior seems to come into effect when one uses an icon on the System
Tray. Also be certain that the "behavior" of each of each icon is what you want
it to be. Right-click each, to make changes.

Why don't my Notification Area icons show or why do they disappear?
