I'm a Long time lurker here but

I want to remove the Remove 'A network cable is unplugged' icon from tray

but leave the Dialup Icon which is part of

this registry string

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}

how do I do it????

Look in your network connections folder and right click on Loacl Area Connection and click disable. That should get rid of the icon in your system tray.

I use the network but ocassionally unplug the hub for gaming purposes

all I want to do is to remove the icon without disabling the network or

removing the dialup icon!!

As far as I know, the only way to remove the icon when the media is disconnected is to DISABLE the connection. There may be some obscure way to do it in the registry, but I don't have a clue as to where that would be. :unsure:

Personally, I leave my cat5 cable plugged in all the time and just disable the LAN connection when I don't need it (or I don't want people on my machine).

I had this problem a while ago. The way to solve is to go into your network connections folder, right click on the network that is disconected and go into properties uncheck the box that says "Notify Me when this connection has limited or no connectivity"

Hope this helps

uncheck the box that says "Notify Me when this connection has limited or no connectivity"

Thanks!

I can't believe I have overlooked that every single time I have been in that dialog :|

Edit: it doesn't appear to have any effect here :(

same here...

there is 2 options:

- Show icon in notification area when connected

- Notify me when this connection has limited or no connection

even when i disabled both, i still see the icon in the tray...

need to disable the icon because i'm on a laptop with max resolution 1024x768 and the 2 network icons takes up space.. i do not want to disable the networks when i don't use them cause at home i use wireless and at school i use wired to lan with my friend's laptop for games/etc.. so i basically use both frequently and disabling/enabling would be a hassle

nah.. don't feel like installing more programs.. all those programs do is just put icons under menus in their program icon in the tray..

i think i'll reshack it.. but so many friggin icons folders.. which ones are the network connected and unplugged icons???

oh yea.. also, tray icon hiding programs or the windows feature may not always work.. especially icons that change "status" or w/e.. they just create a new instance and is not noticable normally..

Depending on your network adapter, you may be able to do this:

Network Connections -> (connection name) -> Properties -> General -> Configure -> Advanced -> Media Status -> Always Connected
