Network tray icon

Posted: 02-03-2007, 12:04 PM
I updated this machine to Vista a day ago and all seemed OK at first
excepting that now I cant autosync a PDA on it. Wont recognise the Ipaq
HX2190 damn it.

Anyway, today the icon for the wireless network just drops off the tray and
cant get it back nor can I find the option to do so anywhere. No it isnt
hidden as I changed to show ALL icons. I note that about half my running
program icons are gone, too.

Anyone know how to get the wireless network icon back? I like to REPAIR off
the tray icon when needed.

Hello Diamontina,

To make the network icon appear in the notification area, please follow
these steps:

Right-click in the system tray, and choose Properties.
Click the Notification area tab.
Make sure the Network checkbox is checked.

Yep, stupid me that was it. Thanks for that.

Finally got the PDA to sync. Only took 4 uninstall and installs of the
Windows Mobile Device Centre to get it going. Sigh....
