Auto hide icon in system tray?

[Guest Michel]

Hi,

 

For my work I installed software that enables me to log in over the Internet

on the network of my company using a virtual private network. As a result a

new local area connection is added to my network connections. And that

resulted in a new icon in my system tray. I personally do not like a

cluttered up system tray. Icons I do not want to see are set to 'always hide'

(right click task bar, select properties, in the 'Taskbar and Start Menu

Properties' window, select Customize. Select 'Always hide' in the drop down

box of the icon you do not want to see displayed). But the next time I start

my system the icon is back again.

 

Does anyone know how I can instruct the icon to not show its face to me?

 

Regards,

Michel

Try this:

Right clik on the connection in the system tray > Click Open Network

Connections > Right click the connection you don't want to see on the system

tray > On the General tab of the Properties box Click to uncheck the "Show

icon in the notification area when connected" box at the bottom > OK.
