Wierd icon at bottom of screen

So, after browsing through my windows folder & tapping on random items to see what they were, I accidently enabled some strange icon. It appears at the bottom right of the screen, next to the battery meter & the other icon that's there when the phone is new. It looks like the bottom half of a phone with a lock on top of it. When I tap it, it switches between that symbol & the same symbol with a red circle a line through it. Can someone tell me what it is?

Thanks,
john

I might be wrong, but I think that it would help if you identified your phone and the version of Windows Mobile.

Sorry, it's a Cingular 8125 w/ WM5.

Anyone have any clues as to my question? Please help, I hate it when I can't figure something out.

Thanks again, john

I wonder if it's the connection symbol to the pc symbol? Does it ONLY show when connected to the pc, or?

Try going to Start -> Settings -> System -> Memory -> Running Programs and see if it's listed.

No, it shows all the time & it's not in the Running Programs folder. Any more ideas?

1. double tap it, what does it do?
2. reboot the phone, what does it do, does it come back?
