    Right-click the Start button and click Properties.

    Click the Taskbar tab then click Customize in the Notification Area section.

    Select the icon whose behavior you want to change then change its behavior from the drop-down list and Apply the change.

    Notification Area Icons - Hide or Show System Icons and Notifications

    Good idea but only works if you have Hide Inactive Icons selected.
