Thanks for your time on this Beth. I think that I must follow your advice and
look elsewhere, or follow Steve's and be content with the shortcut on my
Quick Launch.

But first, a couple of comments:

Personally I just click the Wireless Network Connection in the system tray
(next to the time) whenever I need to view my wireless connection status.

I cannot get the icon onto the system tray. Its properties allow me to "Show
icon in notification area when connected", but not to leave it there
permanently. Maybe it's my version of Windows (XP Professional V5.1, SP3)?

Oh yeah, that's right: you want to enable/disable. I leave mine connected so I always see it.

I read your two articles, and created my own Windows Toolbars. But I agree
with you that there are drawbacks. In addition to those you mention, I cannot
get it to not display the toolbar title: except by docking it, when it is not
possible to resize it so there is no wasted real estate.

But that's life, I suppose ... BTLIS :-)

Yeah, definitely drawbacks but at least it's something...
