Hi aniston,<br />
<br />
Depending on your Windows version. Open &quot;Control Panel-&gt;Network Conenctions-&gt;Local Area Connections-&gt;Properties&quot;. You will see all the components that are used for your connection and at the bottom of that display ther should be a checkbox &quot;Show icon in taskbar when connected&quot;. Unchek that box and the stupid text will go away (with the icon in the taskbar!)<br />

I've tried going into the Properties of the network card that is showing up in the tasy tray (with a red &quot;X&quot; -- it's disconnected) and if i &quot;check&quot; or &quot;uncheck&quot; the &quot;Show Icon in Notification area when connected&quot; (on XP) and that, as the short description indirectly indicates, that it doesn't remove the disconnected task tray icon.<br />
<br />
How do i do this in XP? Registry?<br />
<br />
Thanks

How to Hide the &quot;Network Cable is Unplugged&quot; Task Tray Icon

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
