| | wifi icon missing from taskbar Hi, Can anyone tell me how to restore the wifi icon in the taskbar? I have vista home premium on an HP laptop. It was there this morning, and now, when i turned it on, its gone. I right clicked on the taskbar, then left clicked on properties, found the notification area, and the network square is grayed out so I can't put a check in it. I think that is what would put the icon back next to the battery icon. TIA Al |

| | Re: wifi icon missing from taskbar Thanks for the suggestion, but a restart didn't fix it. It gave me an idea, though: restore point. There had been a vista update on the 1st so I restored to 2 days before the update. I don't know if the update caused the problem or not, but the restore fixed it.

| | Re: wifi icon missing from taskbar Do you people have some kind of fixation with registry tweak or high-tech geek ? What's wrong with doing a system restore, picking the date the icon was present ? t-4-2 "whs" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:25719f0feaeea617632c1589caef088a@xxxxxx-gateway.com...
