Take the 2-minute tour ×  How can I hide my network connections
(the PC with the red X icon on the task bar) when I'm not using
a that connection.  Typically, I switch back and forth between
wireless and wide connections depending on my location, so I
don't want to just simply disable the network device.

using? –  BloodPhilia Jun 14 '10 at 16:01 XP, but I imagine the
answer should be relatively the same for anything from 2K3, and
beyond. –  CodeSlave Jun 14 '10 at 17:49 add comment  5 Answers
Go to 'Network Connections' or 'Network and Sharing Center',
right click on the connection you want to hide and click on
Properties. Then uncheck 'Notify me when this connection..'.

in the properties that says "Notify me when this connection has
little or no connectivity" do what you want?  share|improve this
answer Nope. The icon remains in either mode. –  CodeSlave Jun
