linksys wireless adaptor error

Not sure of the problem here. If you want to access your connection properties and such, you can just go through: Start Menu > Control Panel > Network Connections.

Yuk. For the average user overwhelmed by crap they don't understand how to control, that can nearly obliterate the Task Bar.

OK, I'm not the average user. I have very little running in the background. Counting icons, I currently have 12 icons. I could easily disable 4 of them. I do use Quick Launch, which also gobbles quite a bit of space on the task bar. If I need more space, I either enlarge the task bar for a 2nd row, or move the taskbar to the right side of the screen[1] which has more room, especially in a 16:9 screen. What I find offensive with the "Hide Inactive Icons" misfeature is that it's a moving target. Things appear and disappear. I usually ask my customers "what has changed" on the screen when something happens. They always ignore the system tray because of it's constantly changing contents. When I deliver a machine, it ALWAYS has the "Hide Incactive Icons" mis-feature disabled. Nobody has complained or turned it back.

Incidentally, I also turn off the "Audo Hide" feature that provides yet another moving target.
