Network Icon on Taskbar

[Nik]

I have a 10/100/1000 Ethernet card installed on my XP machine, which I don't
use. I have the Network Icon with a red cross through it cluttering up my
Taskbar. Can I /Should I /how can I remove it?

Thanks in advance,

Nik

go to the device manager and disable your network card.
If you need it in the future, re enable it.
