| | Changing network icon Is it possible to change the network icon (that sits in the notification area) to something that it usefull ?. The network icon on my XP machine gives me colour indication when it's transmitting/receiving, shows me traffic stats, and links to various network properties pages, whereas the on in Windows 7 does diddly squat (apart from open network centre). Is it possible to change it to an XP type icon that is actually usefull ? |

| | Thanks Shawn, but what I'm really wanting to do is change the functions that the icon can carry out (such as displaying traffic, more right click options etc). Although I suppose that would require a fair bit of programming knowledge. |

| | You're welcome.  Incidentally, are you aware that you can have this start up automatically by selecting Load at Windows Startup in the Settings page? |
