My computer crashed one morning and stated to install the XP CD and select
"r" at the setup. I only replaced the file:
c:\windows\system32\config\system, and now the icon that shows my internet
connection, is missing from the taskbar. How do i get that icon back? The
only way to disconnect from the internet is to reboot my computer.

Thank you,
Maxine

Austin,

Thank you for your reply. I seemed to have lost that folder "NETWORK
CONNECTIONS" somewhere. I did a search and my computer can't seem to find it
either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I don't have the solution to this problem but I wanted to let you know
that this happened to a friend of mine and I will be watching to see if
anyone comes up with the answer.. it may not be relevant but at the same
time my friend lost all functionality from windows defragmenter, could you
check to see if this has happened to you too as it will help you to find a
solution and help my friend too.

cheers

Andy

It's usually in Control Panel...do you have it there?
