This is an update on trying to hide/remove the x'd out LAN icon from the
system tray. I created the DisableDHCPMediaSense key as suggested in another
thread in
HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters but it
did not change the behavior of the icon. It still appears in the systray and
will not stay hidden. Rebooting or waking from hibernation causes the state
to revert to hide when inactive. Remember I cannot disable the LAN or my
dialup ISP fails. I just want to hide it or make it go away without
disabling the LAN.
I also pinged the loopback address after disabling the LAN and it worked
fine so the loopback doesn't seem to be tied to the LAN.
Any other suggestions?
