Arneh Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Does anyone know the registry settings to hide the Network, Volume, and Clock system icons in the taskbar?ThanksNot sure about hiding them, but you can completely remove them from the Tray by:Right clicking the TaskBar -> Properties -> Notification Area tab -> Uncheck Clock, Volume, Network under System Icons.

toastycheese678 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) Yes that is exactly what I want to do. The only problem is that I want those removed by default and so the easiest way would be through a registry implementation. If you have any other ideas how to do this unattendedly please respond.

jamieo Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) It can be done but it ain't pretty. The reg settings below remove the possibility to have each icon in the tray - they will be gone by default but you won't be able to add them back in without reversing the reg settings as the option is disabled.If anyone knows a better way then please post.;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------; Disable clock in system notification area *and* option to re-enable;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]"HideClock"=dword:00000001;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------; Disable notification battery meter *and* option to re-enable;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]"HideSCAPower"=dword:00000001;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------; Disable notification networking icon *and* option to re-enable;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]"HideSCANetwork"=dword:00000001;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------; Disable notification volume control icon *and* option to re-enable;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]"HideSCAVolume"=dword:00000001 Edited March 28, 2007 by jamieo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toastycheese678 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Can this method be used to hide the clock too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Just as a side note, not all but many tweaks used in XP can also be applied in Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
