I want to get something like Windows XP hidden taskbar icons, there is arrow that opens hidden icons to the left, in windows 7 is opened to top.
There is any program or registry key that can make me happy? :p

I've looked but have never found what you are looking for, sorry.

My solution was to first turn off any tray icon that was not super important to me, then check the "always show all tray icons", which of course really just means "always show all tray icons OTHER than the ones I have turned off". The result is I never see that dumb overflow box, and the six icons I do show don't take up that much room.
