    Connection monitors in Task Tray - help to find the tutorial please?


    When I was wandering in the excellent Tutorial section recently looking for a cure to a rather odd problem (now solved) one of the threads I came across was to put the 2 little monitors in the Task Tray that I had in previous versions of Windows.
    At the time they were not what I wanted but now that all is well I think I would like them in my Task Tray as they greyed out when there was no connection which will help me keep an eye on things.

    Do you think I can refind it?! Am hoping some kind person will call me stupid and point me at it please?

    Thankyou but not quite .... the one I wanted to find again placed the 2 little monitors in the task bar (as I used to have in my previous windows versions).
    They flickered in dark blue when the internet was connected and greyed out if there was no connection. I gathered they were not a standard item in Windows 7 Home Premium. I did install it but stupidly deleted it as it wasn't what I was after at the time.
    They looked like this ....



    or you could choose the slightly different Vista ones I seem to remember
