Yesterday, i mentioned that Network Icon Animation Activity is missing in Windows 7 .
Look at the Icon before Sound Icon in System Tray…
Today, I am here with a Solution to Missing Network Icon Animation Activity for Windows 7.
I am very happy that i got Windows XP like Network Icon in Windows 7. 
Windows 7 did lot of changes to Taskbar, Jumplist, Quick Launch and many other things. One change was Animated Network Icon in System Tray to plain normal Icon in Windows 7.
Many of us including me weren’t happy about this due to the fact that many of us keep checking the Network Activity by checking the Network Icon blinking lights.
