Completely remove icons from tray

How can I COMPLETELY remove icons from the tray. Iv tried going to the customize page, and choose Hide Icons and Notifications, but it still shows up. Any ideas?

Yea, i just said I have already done that, yet it shows up in the menu when you click the arrow, but not on the taskbar. I want it completely gone. And I dont want to disable it (partly because I cant disable the safely remove hardware icon)

From our own forum

How to remove delete icons from taskbar notification

Hope it works for you.

I see some utilities out there that claim to do it, but none free. Try the big download sites like download.com, snapfiles, softpedia etc..

Yea that doesnt work

Just to be clear, what I want is for a couple of these icons to be GONE

the big green H square, and the safely remove hardware icon. Gone from the tasbkar and the popup panel.

I have no idea what the H is but I would assume that the icon for removing things wouldn't show if you don't have anything plugged in.

I've just got a utility to work with anything that's plugged into the USB ports, SafelyRemove, it will tell you what you have making it easy to unplug the correct item.

I dont want to remove the feature, cause i always hav eit plugged in. I just want them gone from the tray. and the H is AutoHotKey.
