I have a lot of stuff going on in my system tray and I need to have certain icons displaying all the time and others hidden all the time, etc. So I change the settings, but they don't seem to stay that way no matter what I've done so far. Is there some way I can make this work better or is this an inherent bugginess?
Thanks,
Ellen
Hello decibelle,
Take a look here:
Notification Area - Add or Remove
Hope this helps,

If you are thinking that I'm not logged in as administrator, I am. The problem is that an occasional icon will not stay hidden when I set it to hide or will not always show when I set it to always show. Most of them behave the way I want, but it gets annoying when they don't.
Hello decibelle,
If you haven't already, check the program's settings to see if it may have one of it's own to control it's system tray icon.
Some programs like an AV program may not always stay hidden no matter what you have set.
Take a look here, as well:

When I have trouble with the notification area I reset it using a batch file that I downloaded from here:
Notification Area Icons - Reset
It's important to reboot before making any modifications in order to show/ hide icons in the system tray!
John,
He's wanting to keep his notification area icon settings the way he had them set like below.
He doesn't want to add or remove the notification area, OR to use a custom icon for one of the notification area icons.
The tutorial you provided should do the trick.John,

The alert that tells you "this device can perform faster" will never stay turned off. It keeps popping up because I'm using a KVM switch and for some reason the system doesn't like where I have it plugged in, but I'm going to keep it there anyway because there's no problem. I keep setting the alert to "hide icon and notifications," but it immediately resets to "only show notifications," and what it actually does is show icon and notifications every time I switch back to my computer from the other computer. I cannot make it stay away. This happens in spite of my unchecking "tell me if my device can perform faster" in the box that opens up if I click on a USB icon.
Is there a way to disable at least this one message?
Try this to remove the pop up message.
Click on the balloon message to see a list of available USB 2.0 ports.
At the bottom of the This Device Can Perform Faster window, uncheck the box Tell me if my device can perform faster then close the window.
John
