Hello,

 

I am using XP Pro SP2 with all updates. I have a wireless connection

managed by other software and I have it disabled unless I am where I can

connect to a network. However, there is always a Windows Network icon in

the taskbar showing disabled status even though, under the networks

properties, I do not have the box checked for notification when the network

has limited or no connectivity. How do I get this icon out of my taskbar

without using Windows to disable the network?

Hi Bob,

 

Not the perfect answer, just a workaround/suggestion:

 

Remove/Restore Network Icon from Notification Area (Line 394 - right hand

side):

Try this: Click Start >> Control Panel >> Double click Network and Internet

connections >> Double click Network Connections.

There on the Wireless Icon right click and select Properties, on the

Properties under general tab there two Check boxes at the Bottom of the

window:

[ ] Show Icon in Notification area when connected

[ ] Show Icon on Notification area when there is limited or no

Connectivity .

Uncheck those two boxes and click [OK].

Does this help.

HTH.

Let us know.

Not even worth the trouble removing it. Just live with it.

Calculator Plus

 

I am using XP Pro SP2 with all updates. I have the Powertoy "Calculator

Plus" installed. It worked fine. I installed a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic

Keyboard 4000 and now the calculator will work and then just stop working.

In other words, I will start performing calculations and then it will quit

responding to keystrokes or mouse clicks. I don't know that this is related

to the keyboard but Any ideas?

 

The standard calculator with Windows still works fine.
