Hi:
For some reason, I lost a 'Stay Connected/Disconnect' Box/Icon
that's popping-up in the middle of the screen after finished all of the
web-sites.

Then, I did the following several times in my attempt to get this
'Icon/Box' back.

(1) click 'Setting'
(2) Network
(3) click 'Local Area Connection Properties'
(4) check, "Show Icon in notification area when connected'
(5) click, 'Finish'

In the past, I ALWAYS got this handy 'Icon/Box' back after doing
the above. However, this time I have NO luck, whatsoever.

I would be truly appreciated it if you, any of guys here could offer
a solution to this problem.

Thanks for your help in advance.
 
In IE, Tools>Internet Options>Connections.
Highlight the connection and click Settings.
In Dial-up Settings click Advanced and check the box next to
"Disconnect when Connection may no longer be needed".
"Disconnect if idle for ... mins"
or
#38 Set Auto Disconnect Back to Default
