    I seem to have lost the wireless connection icon that's usually located in the taskbar on the bottom right. I realize that I can just go to Start>Connect if I need to manage my connections and VPN's, but I'm curious as to how I can get that icon back. More so for convenience than anything else.

    And yes, I did click the little arrow to expand the whole thing and show all icons. It's still not there :p

    Is this for XP or Vista?

    Right-click the Taskbar, go to Properties > Notification Area > System icons > make sure Network is checked.
