Removing System Tray

Hi, I find it impossible to have that annoying system tray that goes on the bottom of the screen and adds running application icons. Some programs just dont have the ability to manually turning their system tray off, so I want to turn the entire system tray off completely. I found this, can someone confirm that this works, I would try it myself but I couldnt find these entries in my registry

To remove the system tray where the Battery and Comm manager icons are, requires a bit of registry manipulation.

Now change the following keys to value 0. Default value is 1 as shown below.

Remove the Battery Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000001

Remove the Wireless Manager Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000001

Once done, reset your device and the system tray will be removed giving you back some today screen space.
Im guessing this only hides those 2 things, but what if I wanted to remove emoze or verizon wireless sync. I have stopped wirelessly syncing because I cant stand that Icon.

What about wisbar, I heard that has a feature to turn off the tray.

Thanks
