it is not possible. but you are able to put an icon on the start menu and even show individual connections on the taskbar.
for a link to network connections area or individual links-
right click on the taskbar, properties, [tab start menu], customize, [tab advanced], in the scrol bar go down to: network connections, select either "link to network connections folder" or "display as connect to menu". Link to is a shortcut to network connections folder. Display as connect makes one or more shortcuts to the internet connects you have on your computer.
for the icons in the taskbar-
go to the network connects area, right click the icon you want displayed, tick both the boxes at the bottom of the box
vista: right click the taskbar , click properties , click the notification area tab ,
check the box labeled network and click ok
You can open this by clicking on the network icon in the right corner of the screen. from there, you can click on the words 'network and sharing center' to open it. I use this if my network connection goes down, by clicking on the 'x' between network and internet. it then brings up a tool that can tell you what's wrong and usually fix it.
If you have a Wi-Fi network, mouse over the icon in your taskbar that tells you that you're connected. If it doesn't show you the name there, when you right-click, there should be something such as "information" or "status" written there, which will tell you.
First you need to make sure the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen is unlocked. 1) Mouse over the Taskbar and right-click. 2) Look for 'Unlock the Taskbar' in the pop up menu. If you don't see 'Unlock' then the Taskbar is already unlocked. Next, drag the Outlook Express shortcut icon from your desktop to the Taskbar, and release. A mini icon will be created on the Taskbar. Click on the mini icon to be sure everything is working ok. If you want to lock the Taskbar, just follow steps 1 and 2 from above, but choose 'Lock the Taskbar' instead.
you need to go into the properties for the wireless connection and check to box "show icon in notification are when connected". Also check taskbar properties- uncheck "hide inactive icons"
It sounds like the Network Activity Monitor.
From the Start menu, open Control Panel Double-click Power Options Click the Advance tab Click the Always show icon on the taskbar. Click OK
Right-click the icon you want moving, and select 'pin to taskbar'
Click the volume icon on the right side of the taskbar, then click the mute speakers icon.
check whether you have assign IP address for the wireless network manually or not. if you are given IP manually it won't detect any of available networks and you will not able to connect to wifi networks. just go to network and sharing center ( you can right click on network icon in the taskbar and open network sharing center then select your wireless network, then select properties > go to TCP IP V4 and V6 setting and give select obtain IP address automatically. then it will detect the new wifi network and if the wifi network are secured you will ask for the password to connect to it. by giving the password of the wifi network you can connect to your wireless network. in all laptops you will find a wifi button please be aware to switch on your wifi button before you connect.

Try restarting the computer again. If that doesn't work, I can't help you. It has happened many times to me as well. I am having another problem in that there is a mysterious lowercase "i" icon in the McAfee icon n the taskbar.
There is an Gtalk icon in the system tray (Extreme right side of the TaskBar). Right click on that icon and select "Sign Out" option.
The 'Network' icon.
