PremEx,

I have Windows XP Home Edition on my laptop

Look under Start/Programs/Startup/ for Instant Wireless Configuration Utility.

If it is not there, you can launch it from:

Start/Programs/Wireless Network PC Card/Instant Wireless Configuration Utility.

Once that is done, and the wireless connection is enabled in the Start/Settings/Network Connection window, the wireless network icon will appear in the windows start bar.
