    RESOLVED! "turn off notification of new networks" is missing?

    Greetings,

    This option is missing when I right-click on the network icon is the system tray (notification area). I have noticed it is not there on all 3 of my PCs? Does anyone have any idea what would 'remove' this option or how to 'restore' it...?!



    -Thanks

    I have searched for the missing menu in the registry on another PCs, to see if a simple Export then Import procedure on my PCs would fix it, but of course it's nothing that simple as far as I can tell...

    RESOLVED!

    The following registry key needed to be deleted...

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\NewNetworkWindowOff
