on my HP notebook computer, this method DOES work to remove the icon for the "copper" network adapter. However, selecting the "wireless" network adapter, and unchecking does not remove it from the notification are. (tryed unchecking, click OK, then open back, check it, click OK, open it back up, uncheck click OK. I even tryed restarting) I can't seem to get this icon to go away. I don't want to disable it, as I do use it from time to time (wireless). but it is a bit annoying when I am on a "fringe" wireless connection location (and connected thru copper) to have this icon telling me, it's connected, oops, it's not connected any more, oh, now it's connected.

Hi, Leo
I bought a laptop with broadband and Intel(R) Pro Wireless Network connection card installed,(the technician that installed my Internet said wireless network is not necessary for me to use) but my friends say I should use it,once I have this network adapter.I'm very confused about that. Can you help me? Is Wireless Network only for business purposes?
(Sorry for my bad English, you can edit this, to make shorter, if you want)
Thanks very much for all your help so many times!
rebakan

This did not work for me......there was no tick mark there, so I ticked it and then removed the tick....nothing......i am wondering if something is screwy with my xp program, cuz i have to set my mouse pointer speed up everytime i turn on my laptop....nothing else changes, so i am just wondering if changes are not being saved on shutdown.

good article tho, i forgot that method, i used to click on the taskbar, then properties, and then hide the icon.
