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

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

Yup I just checked can confirm that wisbar advance 3 does have the option to hide the system tray..

Great, but what if i didnt want wisbar to do anything else except hide the tray, can that be done do you think?

I installed Wisbar advance, but it takes up too much memory and you cannot disable all of its features.

But it proves that removing the tray bar from the bottom is doable, if wisbar can do it, isnt there another way of removing the tray without install extra software, No registry edits or small apps to do this?

Thanks

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

Once done, reset your device and the system tray will be removed giving you back some today screen space.


This works for me, By default mine was turned off but doing the opposite of that reg edit puts the battery icon on my system tray. But i dont see the Wireless Manager one in my registry either

I dont understand, so this worked for you? My ...\services\power\showicon is already 0, what am i suppose to change it to? I changed it to 1 and back to 0 restarted after every change, but i still have try icons.

Is removing the tray icons no longer possible with the 6.1 update? The launcher92 reg. key no longer exists after I upgraded to remove them like I had previously done.... anyone with insight?
