hi all, im wondering if there is an option in win 7 to have the network traffic indicator in the taskbar the same as xp?

its nice to see the traffic coming in and going out but cant seem to find an option to show it in win 7

cheers

it takes some getting used to but soon you will realise it was a good change and why Win 7/Vista are far superior to XP.
