Network icon in System Tray

Another change due to repair by tech.

I still have the normal Network/Make New Connection shortcuts in the Start
Menu.

But there is a new item, a Network icon, running in that location, for use
in creating a new connection.

I use a utility that shows all startups, this Network icon is not listed.
It is not shown in the Documents/Settings folder.

Assuming deletion will not effect existing Start Menu shortcuts, how to
delete this extra icon in the System Tray?

None of that is normal here.

Why should it be? They are 2 different directories.

<sigh> Right-clcik, choose "Delete". Or "Exit". or whatever. Your problem is
that you don't communicate what your problem is. "Start menu"?
"Document/Settings" folder? A running application in the "System Tray"?

Why don't you wave your arms and ask your "tech"?

Airhead, if you read today's posts, you would have seen my earlier message
describing it.

What are you talking about?  In W2K, there is always a Start Menu item
Network Connections or similar.

There are 4 different directories in a reinstall, and it is not in any of
the Start Menu folders. A Startup item is normally listed in one of those
folders.

Sigh, can't you figure out that if it was that simple, this thread wouldn't
exist. There is no rightclick menu to that icon.

Your problem is you need to learn some manners, you're the first clown I've
seen in this newsgroup.

Ah. so you start calling people who haven't read your other posts "airhead".
I'll bet your "earlier messages describing it" were an entirely different
thread, weren't they? What sort of childish name would you call somone who
posts different threads about a (supposedly) similar problem and then
insults others who don't read every last single item in all of those
differently-named threads?

What would you call a person who is so ignorant of how Usenet works that
they'd get ruffled and lose composure because everyone didn't receive their
earlier messages in a completely different thread at the same time as
everyone else did?

Maybe on your "tech-installed" site, but as stated, none of the Win2000
installs here or at the remote lab have such Start menu entries.

Fabulous ... your OS runs with only 4 directories.

Brilliant logic, that. You place the responsibility on others to "figure
out" your problems, instead of stating them.

Your problem is you need to learn how to clearly describe your problems in a
Usenet setting, but that's a convolution clearly beyond your means.

I am a senior, with medical issues and bad sleep. Still, when I post a
question, I try to be clear and brief, may not always suceed.

On this newsgroup there are some very helpful people.

You are not, you went out of your way to respond to my post being sarcastic
and unhelpful.

I only post when there is no other solution that I can find by searching,
etc. So I will probably in future post again.

Since you are not helpful, my advice is don't interfere like you did here,
in my future posts, or you won't like my response.
