Completely remove icons from tray

[cclloyd9785]

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?

Go to this page ( Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons\System Icons ) to turn off the ones that are listed. For the rest you have to disable the program in the startups or "Hide icon and notification".

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)

Can't have your cake and eat it. As long as they are running in the startups, they will show up - at least in the hidden box.
Not that it matters, but why would you do that anyhow.

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.

Removing Icons

There is (right click taskbar), Properties, Click Customize and turn each one off as you like there. Hopefully this is what You meant (?)
Each individual icon can be removed that way...

Yea i know i have done that, but what I want is to compeltely remove the icon.

 

[cclloyd9785]

Yea because it doesnt work. It only moves it to the popup menu.

This H is for AutoHotkey app? There is an option for not showing an icon within AutoHotkey setting during creation of whatever you're doing.

Anyways, I'm looking for the same thing really. I need to hide connectify icon for all other users but not admin. Is it possible to do that?

 

[markaz]

Without closing the programs I can't find a way that it can be done. If just looking at them is bugging you, why not Auto hide the entire taskbar?

My problem is that I installed Connectify on work's computer and I don't want anyone to see the tray icon. I was thinking if I can disable this for all other users but not admin.
