Hide the Network Connections icon of the control panel...

[Jetttt]

was trying of to hide the icon of network connections in control panel using the tweak of add the string value of "ncpa.cpl" in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load. But when i'll do this, i found the same string (ncpa.cpl) already add. When i erase this string, appears 2 network connections icons in the control panel.

What happen this?

What i can i do to hide the network connections icon????

Thanks.

You can try the native tool set:

right-click a blank area of the taskbar.
checkmark 'Hide inactive icons' and then click Customize
On the icon select 'Never show'.

For an active network icon it is easier. right-click the network connection, Properties, and uncheck 'Show icon on the task bar.'

It is the inactive icons that are the troublesome ones to try and remove. I am not convinced they can be.
