If you have configured Windows' built-in dial-up networking, you have probably noticed the tiny modem icon that appears in the tray whenever you make a connection.
To remove this icon, follow these instructions:
For Dial-up Networking:
- Open up Dial-Up Networking - it's in the My Computer window in Windows 95 and 98, and it's in Control Panel in Windows Me.
- Right-click on the connection you wish to change. If you have more than one, repeat these steps for all of them.
- In the Connect using section, click on Configure... (This displays a box similar, but not identical to the modem settings in Control Panel.)
- Click on the Options tab, and turn off Display modem status in the Status control section.
- Click OK, then click OK again.
For HyperTerminal:
- In HyperTerminal, click on the Properties button on the toolbar (far-right), or choose Properties from the File menu.
- Press Configure, click on the Options tab, and turn off Display modem status in the Status control section.
- Click OK, then click OK again, and select Save from the File menu.
