enable network icon

[Simplify iT]

Hi all,

Have been playing around with different programming option to automatically enable to network connection icon in the notification area without much success... I would like some help with a script that will enable this for me when at first logon - would more than likely put it in the runonceex area....

suggestions, and help very much appreciated!

Is it stored in register, yes it is!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{AE15441C-455A-4DD5-B057-C01BF6C17E41}\Connection

Use Regwrite enc to work with it

Hi Simplify iT

You'll have to create an array of the following registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Below this value are your networkcards stored, under these values there is a Key Connection

ShowIcon - REG_DWORD - 0 (HEX) = No icon

ShowIcon - REG_DWORD - 1 (HEX) = Show icon

There is only one thing i don't know the anwser off.. how to apply this Whitout reboot

i should be something with DllCall .. but which dll i don't know

Is it stored in register, yes it is!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{AE15441C-455A-4DD5-B057-C01BF6C17E41}\Connection

The value {AE15441C-455A-4DD5-B057-C01BF6C17E41} in your example is based on your networkcard not on his

Try this:

expandcollapse popup

FindRegValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}", "Connection", "ShowIcon")

Switch @error
Case 1
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "Required key not found")
Case 2
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "Required value not found")
Case 3
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "unable to open requested value")
EndSwitch

Func FindRegValue($StartKey, $key, $value)
    Local $RegKey, $RegVal, $read, $i, $sRet, $type
    For $i = 1 To 100
        $RegKey = RegEnumKey($StartKey, $i)
        If @error Then Return SetError(1)
        
        If StringInStr($RegKey, $key) Then
            For $j = 1 To 100
                $RegVal = RegEnumVal($StartKey &"\"& $RegKey, $j)
                If @error Then Return SetError(2)
                
                If StringInStr($RegVal, $value) Then
                    $read = RegRead($StartKey &"\"& $RegKey, $value)
                    If @error Then Return SetError(3)
                    $type = @extended
                    Switch $read
                    Case 0
                        If MsgBox(68, "Question", "Enable network icon?") = 6 Then RegWrite($StartKey &"\"& $RegKey, $value, GetExtendedType($type), 1)
                        Exit
                    Case 1
                        If MsgBox(68, "Question", "Disable network icon?") = 6 Then RegWrite($StartKey &"\"& $RegKey, $value, GetExtendedType($type), 0)
                        Exit
                    EndSwitch
                EndIf
            Next
        Else
            $sRet = FindRegValue($StartKey &"\"& $RegKey, $key, $value)
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc

Func GetExtendedType($Extended)
    Local $RegTypeArr[6] = [5, "REG_SZ", "REG_MULTI_SZ", "REG_EXPAND_SZ", "REG_DWORD", "REG_BINARY"]
    For $i = 1 To 5
        If $Extended = $i Then Return $RegTypeArr[$i]
    Next
EndFunc

But you need restart computer after change value.

You are right!
