I have XP corp. and I am logged on as administrator. I want to show the connection icon in the task tray whenever I log onto the net. It NEVER works. Each time I have to go to connection properties and recheck the box to show the icon in the tray. I have also gone into taskbar properties and selected to show the icon all the time. Still does not work-- as soon as I log off, the icon disapears and never comes back unless I manually retrieve it. Any ideas? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks
