First, right-click on the Notification icon (looks like a cartoon word balloon) and select Don't show app icons
.
Then:
Customize the taskbar
.Select which icons appear on the taskbar
.Always show all icons on the taskbar
is On
, then turn it off.If this does not work then it may be set through the Registry.
regedit
and press Enter. Yes
in the UAC dialog.EnableAutoTray
to 1.Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
UseTabletModeNotificationIcons
: Right-click the right panel and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value`.UseTabletModeNotificationIcons
to 0.Finally, the display of icons in the Notification Area can be set through Group Policy (GP). Since some versions of Windows don't provide a GP editor, the following Registry settings can be used.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
.NoAutoTrayNotify
exists, set it to 0 or delete it.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
.NoAutoTrayNotify
exists, set it to 0 or delete it.It's a good thing MS gave us such a simple interface to the System Tray... oops, Notification Area.
