You could try TrayManager2 from PC Magazine. I have not tried it on XP, but it worked great on Windows 2000.

no problem mate, glad to help

Well . . back in time we go . . .

Anyways sorry to bring this old thread back to life, but I have a problem relating to this topic.

I followed the instructions and successfully disabled the "disconected lan icon" on my wired lan connection

but . .

I have laptop, and when my wireless cannot connect I would also like to disable the wireless "not connected icon"

Trying to get windows to hide the icon is only a temp solution, as it always comes back. What I want is a location to reshack for the wireless "not connected" icon. (I cannot find it in netshell.dll)

Or if there is a freeware program that can permanently kill icons, that does not run in the background, I will then try that.

Any suggestions?

:yes: and again sorry for bringing this thread back, but I need a little help :p

It's in xpsp2res.dll, ordinal number 1004, I think.
