hi
For some unknown reason, when I connected to the internet today, the internet connection icon in the taskbar didn't appear.
I tried unchecking and re-checking the "Show icon in notification area when connected" box under my connection's properties, and the Customize Notifications under Taskbar Properties still lists the internet connection as "always show".
I willing to go into my Registry to fix this problem.
Any help?
Thanks ahead!
Maybe this is a stupid suggestion, however, in my experience, most computer problems are usually something extremely simple.
Check to see if you have "Hide inactive icons" enabled in your taskbar properties. Might seem like a really stupid thing... but it is always a possibility. Just right click on an empty space on your taskbar and select properties.
It is possible that the icon has just slid into the inactive list. The inactive list is not really acurate... in order to stay on the active list, Windows actually expects that you normally click on the icon... otherwise it doesn't think you are using it.
