How does the network icon in the system tray

I'm curious about the mechanics behind the network icon in the tray system on win7.  Is there a text about this somewhere?  I want to understand all the different States.

Especially wifi flavor of it.

When I move the mouse over it, a popup if poster that shows which SSID it is connected to and says "Internet access".  What are the criteria used to determine access to the Internet?

Sometimes the popup claims he has access to the Internet, but there is no.

Hello Dave,

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

Thank you for your query details.

I also appreciate the fact that you want to know the functioning of the network icon.

  • my computer has two network icons, 1394 and con LAN. Either, especially the icon of LAN began to move to items being passed in the system tray when I start the computer.

    I have a new and strange behavior on my computer. Until recently, the two icons, 1394 connection and LAN icons always used to appear in the whole system tray after the computer has been started. Is no longer the case. Whenever I start the computer, I don't see the icon of LAN but discover that it attributed to items passed. Then I open the properties of the network connection, uncheck 'Show the icon in the system tray', click Apply + OK, then I open the properties, check the box again, click Apply + OK; only the LAN icon is displayed in the system tray. I'd appreciate any help with this problem. The situation is sometimes the reverse case, i.e., LAN icon appears in the system tray, but I find the icon to connect 1394 points ago. I put the properties in the Start Menu, the toolbar always showed.

  • How does the licensing of user/activation/cloud system affect me?

    With the old system to buy and use, upgrade when you can afford , the license has been clear that you could install 2 copies of the software on different machines, offering only 1 has been used both.

    How does the cloud with activation and users now?

    I am a 1-man-band design agency and would like to be able to work on my main desktop machine, while in office, but also on my laptop when out and about. Can elaborate you on how the cloud will work in my scenario? I hope that "Insert here a deity" it because otherwise I just put myself out of mobile business! Laughing out loud

    Also every time a machine dies horribly, it does from time to time, how the cloud will deal with a new installation on a new computer - will I have old TELEPHONE painful activation of a guy trying to figure out why I installed the number of copies 3 or he as magically remember me and my preferences and make something as done steam? See below for users of steam:

    With systems simlilar and steam (for games), you can log into your account and download and use the software on any machine (provide your connection) and any platform (mac, pc, ps3) which is a brilliant choice. You cannot dodge the system either because the minute you "login" elsewhere, the other account is essentially disabled. I could travel in Australia, using my friends Mac and 20 minutes to continue playing a game at home, I was playing in the United Kingdom on a PC. I have no fear of him using the account that I don't tell him how to connect and do not save my details. As soon as I connect to the House once again, his machine is disconnected and disabled even if I left it on. Its simple, but it works brilliantly. It records the cloud or individual preferences preferences too (in case say, its screen is a lower resolution, etc.)

    That's how works the creative cloud - if he shouldn't! IDEA...

    I have a mac and PC at work - how bright would it be to have only 1 subscription on any platform (if only I stick to the 1 user at the right time)

    If the user login is crucial, I could use any machine or platform at any time - cloud of real work, real cross-platform.

    The licensing Creative Cloud membership is more less the same as before, all computers (Windows or Mac).

    If you had a system that crashed, and that you do not clear, what happens when you go to install on a new computer is it would give you an option to 'disable all' (there is a new option). After that, you can reactivate just on two computers, you want it again.

    The software does not support mobile licenses, you can always turn off using the help > "disable" feature. Being able to license on different machines based on a mobile log-in is something that others have suggested as well (good idea), but is not currently supported.

    You can install on your Mac and PC, however, the subscription is not platform specific.

  • How does the trash?

    OT: Trash.

    How does the trash?

    It seems to be a "sandbox", but a reference to the storage space on each disk.

    I can't find a real situation for the trash

    If I delete a file from the c: drive or the drive e: is the deleted file stored in a different location or the renamed file right on the disc it came? (don't forget the BACK a deleted.doc file was just renamed $eleted.doc)

    Thank you

    In Windows 7, the trash is a named hidden system folder $Recycle.Bin.  There is a file with that name in the root of each of your partitions (e.g., C:\$Recycle.bin, D:\$Recycle.bin, etc.).  Within each of these folders are folders for each user in use on the machine account (there may be additional folders).

    When you double-click on the icon to the trash that is displayed on your desktop that opens is a composite of all files $Recycle.bin for the user account that is active.  In other words, you see the files you deleted all partitions of disk, but you will not see the deleted files of another user of your computer.

    If you right-click on the Recycle Bin icon, you can configure the space used for the $Recycle.Bin records on each partition.  The default size appears in about 10 percent of the first 40 GB on the size of the partition more than 5% of the balance.  As a general rule, you should leave the default size.
