How to Hide only Specific System Tray Icons
Two weeks ago I was giving the solution for hiding all the System Tray Icons and now, as I promise, I am talking about hiding only specific System Tray Icons. It’s verified both in Windows XP and Windows Vista.
1. Right click on the taskbar and select properties
2. Now select Notification Area and then click Customize
3. Now, click the specific icon you want to hide in system tray and select always hide in the dropdown box.
Windows by default display icons for active or urgent notifications and hide inactive ones.
