I'll >have to find some other way to disable that annoying icon. Hi everyone, Just thought I would post back here as a follow-up post. The only way I could find to hide that icon permanently was the following: "Fire up reshack and open c:\windows\system32\netshell.dll +Icon Group 195 *1033 right click on that "1033" and click "Delete Resource [Icon Group : 195 : 1033] save it as netshell.dll.mod in windows\system32 Boot into Safe Mode in command prompt. Type: cd\ cd windows\system32 del netshell.dll ren netshell.dll.mod netshell.dll shutdown -r -f -t 01 And voila! The dreaded x'd out LAN icon is gone for good and the system tray works perfectly." This info may be of help to someone else, so I thought I would post it just in case. I did try and look for a registry key that I could set (via a batch file for that woudl run at every Windows startup), but I couldn't find any info on what registry key (if any - Windows may not even use the registry for the tray icons), Windows uses to indicate which tray icons it always hides. Oh well. -- Regards, CM Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
