29. Enable/Disable Internet Connection
Activity Animation
By default, the Internet Connection activity
icon, situated in the notification area (double
computer icon), displays two tiny PCs with blue
screens when connected. This simply informs the user
that a connection has been established. What it does
not say is whether data is being transferred between
the host PC and the Internet.
To get the icon to blink as it
does in other versions of Windows, and thus enable
you to see that data is being transferred, you need
to enable the Activity Animation
option. To do this proceed as follows:
Enable
1/ Right Click on the
Internet Connection icon in the
notification tray.
2/ From the Drop Down Menu,
Click on the turn on activity animation
option.
33/ Now when data is being transferred between
your PC and the Web you should see the connection
icon blink alternately as data is transferred.
Disable
If you want to return the Internet Connection
Icon to its original none blinking state proceed as
follows:
1/ Right Click the
Internet Connection icon.
2/ From the Drop Down menu,
Click the turn off activity animation
option.
