Re: Wireless Network Icon gone (WVista)

The fix I found (and can't recall where I found it) that works GREAT is
(this is verbatim what was on the site):

I've got the solution...

In the notification area properties you'll notice an option to
customize how explorer handles previous tray icons. The only problem
with this is explorer saves a setting for EVERY icon ever loaded.

For some reason if you clear this history of icons; the power, network,
volume....icons will all reappear.

- brilliant i hear you say.
