Guest wdk Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 I'm running on a wireless network, so I don't need to know that my net cable is unplugged. Neither do I want the windows wireless icon, because it don't work rite half the time anyway. I do want my Broadcom icon, because it tells me the truth, and I also want to ALWAYS see my battery icon, even when the power is plugged in, so I can see when it's charged up. So, I right click on the taskbar, go to properties, customize, and pick Always Hide, or Always show, as the case may be, Apply, OK. Next time I boot up, it goes back like it was!!!!
