Using this method you can place a link on task bar.

Right click on an empty Taskbar area
Go to toolbars--> check Links

Now Links option will appear on taskbar

Goto "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections"
Drag the network connection to Links

Make link visible by dragging the Links slider to left side

Done

Additionally If you want to save some space on task bar,

Right click on Links--> uncheck "Show title"

Enjoy :)
