Local Area Connection


Question Posted Sunday March 30 2008, 4:18 pm

In my system tray (Windows XP), I have an icon called Local Area Connection. When I hover my mouse over it, it says a network cable is unplugged. I don't use this icon, so I really want to remove it from the tray. When I right click it, it only gives me the options of viewing my Windows Firewall Options and Open Network Connections. Also, it's not listed in my Start Up folder.


Any help or ideas for removing it would be much appreciated! Thanks.
