I am running XP SP3 on a Dell laptop with wired and wireless nextwork
controllers installed. I have noticed that the Hiding Icons feature on the
Customize Notifications dialog (Toolbar Properties | Customize) works
differently for wired connection then it does for Wireless connection.
Example:
My LAN properties (Control Panel | Network Connections | Local Area Network
| Properties) have the following settings:
* Show icon in notification area when connected (deselected)
* Notify me when this connection has no connectivity (deselected)
Behavior: When the wired connection is connected or disconnected, no icon
appears in the System Tray (as expected).
My Wireless properties (Control Panel | Network Connections | Local Area
Network | Properties) have the following settings:
* Show icon in notification area when connected (deselected)
* Notify me when this connection has no connectivity (deselected)
Behavior: When the wireless connection is disconnected, the icon appears in
the System Tray (NOT as expected). In addition, I have selected "Always Hide"
for the "Wireless - Not Connected" icon on the Customize Notifications dialog
(Toolbar Properties | Customize).
Question: How can I permanently hide (not disable) the "Wireless No
Connection" Icon in System Tray? I can make a registry entry to disable the
both wire and wireless icons permanantely
(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E} ). However,
the wireless icon is useful when connecting to a wireless network and I would
like it to behave like the Wired icon by conforming to the settings in the
Customize Notifications dialog and the Wireless properties dialog.
