    Always show all icons on the taskbar box


    Is it possible to set this via the registry?

    Does anybody know the key for this?

    Click on the arrow in the system tray and then choose Customize... A new window will open, and you just need to check the option "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar". Click OK and you're done.

    Yes, here are the keys:

    HKU\S-1-5-21-688619259-4168478989-902813979-1001\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\EnableAutoTray: 0x00000000

    A 1 means it's enabled

    Your SID will be different from mine.

    And how to revert back?


    As Gornot said, the setting can be accessed and changed via the "^" button.

    But suppose you want to change it back. How do you then access that setting (there is no longer a "^" button)? Where is it nested within Control Panel? Surely it doesn't require a manual registry tweak!
