Disabling Tray Icons for Hardware

[RogueSpear]

One thing that drives me nuts is that every hardware vendor feels as though they have some sort of divine right to populate my tray area with useless icons. Particularly in an enterprise environment, I don't want end users tinkering around the settings, possibly generating a help call.

I'm hoping that this thread can become a repository for registry tweaks that disable tray icons. That's it. The ongoing series of reg tweak threads get way too polluted with discussion and other detritus. So to start off with I've located the reg entries for the Intel Extreme Graphics series 1 and 2 adapters:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel\Display\igfxcui\igfxsrvc\TrayIcon]
"ShowTrayIcon"=dword:00000000                  ; Intel Extreme Graphics - Disable the Tray Icon

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\Display\igfxcui\igfxtray\TrayIcon]
"ShowTrayIcon"=dword:00000000                  ; Intel Extreme Graphics 2 - Disable the Tray Icon

I would particularly love to get the reg entries for all of the substandard sound chips that people are tossing into notebooks these days.

Here's one I found on a quick search:

; Epson Stylus Printer - Disable the Tray Icon
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EPSON\STM3\STMData\EPLTarget\P0000000000000000]
"TrayIconEnable"=dword:00000000

The printer in question is an Epson Stylus C86 series. It's physically attached to my wife's machine and shared. I found the key on my workstation where I have the printer mapped across the network and verified that the same key exists on the machine the printer is physically attached to.
