When the AC adapter is plugged-in to the computer, the Windows Vista Current Power Plan icon initially reports the power status as "(plugged in, not charging)", even though the computer is charging the battery -- as indicated by the battery LED. Hovering over the icon again reveals the correct status: "(plugged in, charging)".

The Current Power Plan icon resides in the Notification Area (formerly called the SysTray) at the right side of the Windows Taskbar.
