Hi. See attached screen clip. I am trying to hide and remove the last icon closest to the clock (Ring Central Call Controller) from the system tray when the Application is running. The program itself doesn't offer that option.

Is there a way to remove it using a 3rd party program or registry hack or some built-in option that I haven't seen yet?

Setting that icon to "Hide" in the start menu properties dialog boxes only puts it inside the "arrow" and is still then visible there and accessible.

Thanks!

That doesn't help. I mentioned that hiding them using that customize option results in an arrow in the system tray which still shows the icon .
