In that case it should be ok, hide it while you're connected, unhide just before you turn the PC off, re-hide when you turn everything back on and it's all connected
Give it a try tonight and see how you get on. Any more problems just post back.

Actually, you know what?
Have you got modem, router, PC, all on the same bank?
If you have all three will be powering up at the same time, not a good thing.
The ideal power up order is:
Modem (let the lights settle)
Router (let the lights settle)
PC (let the HDD activity drop to a minimum and
then log in)
