Dialogue Box on Desktop

Bought a new computer.  Plugged in the ethernet cable and all works fine.  I'm on the Internet with no problems.... butttt.... my old computer had a Netgear Genie Icon on my desktop.  It allowed me to see Network status, connected devices, check for upgrades, etc.... How do I get that Icon (Dialogue Box) back?  I do have my old hard drive, so id there's an .exe file or something, I'll look for it.  thanx, moze@ptd.net

      thanx for the quick reply.  I did find a netgear genie.exe file on my old computer.  transfered the Netgear Program x86 files to the new computer, and the icon appeared in my taskbar where I saved it.... and it works!  I can once again see the dialogue box with status info... thanx again.
