that darn xp taskbar purple "connected" window

[Malcs]

As the result of one of the recent service packs I now have this damn taskbar "connected" window which has a purple trumpet on it or some such thing. Oh, great. Just what I need to hog up the space where my windows are. Does anyone know how to make this thing disappear? I mean it's not as though there's already an icon in your system tray which tells you if you're connected or not.

Take care of each other,
