Strange.

I have four different computers using Win 2003 Server, Windows XP MCE,
Winows XP Professional, AND Windows XP Home - and I can turn the icon
off IN EVERY VERSION whether something is connected or not, using
exactly what they suggested - telling it to not display the Icon.
This from four different OSs, on everything from a laptop to server.

Given that, I'd say they were right and you are wrong.

Well, there are four WinXP systems around (Home and Pro) at the moment
and *all* of them show that tray icon (red X) when the LAN adapters are
disconnected. No matter if the option "Show Icon..." has been checked
or unchecked. Also, this issue has been posted more than often to local
and to international newsgroups. I've uploaded this screenshot for you:
