Permanently hiding icons...

I am trying to get rid of the Wireless Network Connection icons in my
taskbar. I go to Taskbar properties and click Customize. I change the
Wireless Network Connection items from "Hide when inactive" to "Always hide"
then I click "OK", then "Apply", then "OK". The icons go away for a little
while, but then re-appear every time. I do this several times per day, to no
avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Doug

only until you need to use one of the other ones, go into network
connections, right click each one, and hit disable..........this is the
only way I was able to fix the problem you have :)

Then if you go into Customize and hide, it should work for you, as well

Thank you SO much! It worked. I've been pulling my hair out for months over
this!
