Hello,I am using my Intel client to manage my wireless network connection in Windows XP Pro SP3. (I need to use the Intel client because it supports wireless protocols not supported by the Windows client).I would like to remove the Windows wireless network connection icon from the system tray/notification area and cannot find a way to do this.I have opened network connections, right clicked and selected 'properties' and on the general tab at the bottom there are two check boxes for 'show icon in notification area when connected' and 'notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity' both of which I have unchecked (I did this for my LAN too), yet the icons still appear in the tray when disconnected.Any suggestions?Thanks,Bob1 person needs an answerI do too

Disabling the connection will remove it from the notification area when it's not connected. The "limited or no connectivity" option only applies when a network connection is active, but it can't obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.Boulder Computer MavenMicrosoft Most Valuable Professional

The problem with disabling is that my wireless network would not work at all then, even using the Intel client. Is there no way to remove the Windows wireless connection manager or whatever it is, so that the Intel will remain intact?

I found a registry edit that removes the icon from the systray. One needs only to delete these keys (back them up first):[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}\DefaultIcon][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}\InProcServer32]
