In Windows Vista, is there a way to hide the Network icon from the System
Tray? This functionality was present in Windows XP (via properties).... it is
no longer there in Windows Vista...

Reason I need it... I am ALWAYS connected to my college LAN and to the
internet via the same proxy server... my network status NEVER changes... so I
don't need that icon... whats worse... it doesn't even auto hide if I do
nothing to it for a long time.

Please tell me if I am missing something.
 
I believe you can set it to "don't show" in taskbar properties, along with
sidebar, hardware, and one other that I can't think of right now.

Right-click the taskbar to display properties. It's in there somewhere.
