Network in the notification area

I have Vista Home premium, if that matters.

Right click the taskbar -> Properties -> Notification Area tab

On that tab is a series of checkboxes under "System Icons", one of which
being "Network". Prior to installing SP1, I was able to access that setting
w/o difficulty. Now, I don't know that SP1 is the culprit but what I'm
experiencing is that checkbox is greyed out. In fact, it is the only
checkbox that is greyed out; Clock, Power and Volume are all accessible. So
I'm curious, why am I not allowed to check it and put the network icon back
in my notification area? I'm set up as an administrator and I have UAC
turned off. Is there some way I can reinstate the ability to un/check this
setting? Is there another way I can get the network icon back in to my
notification area?

thnx,
Christoph

Hello Christoph,

This tutorial may help you out. Just do the option to enable the
Network icon.
