Hide icons in the system tray

  • Windows Vista has a facility to always show particular icons within the system tray (i.e. the area next to the clock). This is handy for items you want to be visible such as the network status. To configure the always visible items, right-click on the “Start” button and select “Properties”. In the window that appears, click “Notification Area” and tick the items you wish to always be displayed under the “System icons” heading.

Hi there. If this is the first time you are posting a comment it will not appear immediately, but needs to be approved. This is necessary in order to combat comment spam. However, once you have submitted a comment (which is subsequently approved) you do not need to go through this process again - the site remembers who you are and auto-approves your comments. Nifty eh? Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience that this may cause for your first comment post.
