Media Icon - Registry Controllable?

Hi Folks,

I've been trying Autoit3 to script a simple frontend to OpenVPN which,
among other things, hides the logging window once the password is passed 
to the certificate. My current goal is to give the user a CD with the cert 
on it, password protected and have them guard it like they do their own 
keys. We do this with another port forwarding system using Zebedee.

I currently have Autorun.inf get the user's password, install OpenVPN,
startit (not check if the password was entered correctly), and put a stop
icon on the desktop. It also asks the user if they wish to uninstall
OpenVPN when they disconnect. Crude, but might actually work :).

I can pass the current script along if anyone is interested in possibly an
odd way to please users :).

Anyway, I'd like to see the network icon be gone when users are not using
OpenVPN and have the network icon there when it is active. I know I can
manually go into the properties for the TAP driver and turn on the icon
when connected, but I am wondering if I can hide/show this media status
icon from a registry setting or something easy ;)?

thanks,
JES
