Hi Harold ... when you right click on the icon, select Open Network
Connection ... then you will see your connection in that box, right click on
that and choose Properties and in there is where you will see those
checkboxes.

Subject: Re: [PCWorks] Network Connection in my Syatem Tray
Of course Hugh is right, but my problems are more in my head than in my
computer; if it doesn't have to be there, I have to get it out. I'm using
dial-up right now but in a few weeks I'll be graduating almost to the
internet major leagues, and will be using DSL (that will be "broadband" if
that makes a difference in how to remove this icon). As an aside, Verizon
said I'll no longer need my current RCN dial-up connection (saving $20),
they'll connect me to DSL for the same $20, and I'll be saving approximately
$30 by no longer needing the second phone line that I had installed before
ever knowing about DSL (total savings of $30 a month with a faster
connection). I'm suggesting to the co-op board that my entire two buildings,
around 580 units, that we have to "get with it" and be cable internet
connected; here's hoping.
Note to Peter:When right clicking the icon, there is no Properties line,
again, maybe you are talking about broadband and I'm using dial-up. The
"network cable is unplugged" line (only seen with the mouse hovering over
the icon) seems to be causing no problem; i.e. I have no trouble at all with
accessing and remaining on the internet. Why it is there, I don't know.
Note to Hugh and Clint: When right-clicking it, it offers two options:
"Change Windows Firewall settings" and "Open Network Connections". I see no
"Show Icon when connected" , and "Show limited connectivity". When opening
it (left clicking), it opens to a Network Connections folder which among
other connections, lists my ISP. Now when right-clicking my ISP >
Properties, there I get a check box, "Show icon in notification area when
connected" BUT, that for the actual internet connection icon to show and
only when connected. This Network Connection icon is different. --- Harold
