Sfor Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) The network connection status icon (the one with two computers and their screens flashing when the connection is active) is a valuable help, when there are problems with network connection. So, I'm always living it as always visible on my clients computers. In case of a problem, when I'm unable to access a particular computer remotely, I can always ask the user if everything is right with the icon. But, there is a downside. Sometimes users are mistaking the network connection icon with some other, shuting down the network connection by mistake. I'm trying to find out a way to keep the icon displayed, while disabling the possibility of shuting down the network connection with it. Perhaps it could be possible to replace the system icon with some other? Or, perhaps, it is possible to restrict the user rights, so it will be not possible for him to shut down the network connection?

jaclaz Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 You can use another (iconized or the like) network monitor tool for the tray.Ideas (to be tested):http://www.floriangilles.com/software/netspeedmonitorhttp://venea.net/?action=article&article=nettraffichttp://www.itsamples.com/network-activity-indicator.htmlhttp://ispmonitor.be/software/but I believe there are many more similar tools, most probably this:http://www.paulmather.net/lanlight.aspis what you are after. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
