Hide all Icons in the notification area

      System tray, also known as the notification area, is the small area to the extreme right side of the taskbar from where you can see the time alongwith other programs that run in the background. Although it notifies about ongoing programs, we do not keep these programs as frequent as to keep over there with such priority. There is a method to hide all the icons that are being displayed in the system tray.

Follow the following steps:

1) Go to Start >> Run >> regedit

2) Go to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER >> Software >> Microsoft >> Windows >> CurrentVersion >> Policies >> Explorer

3) Now in the right pane, right-click and go to New >> create a new DWORD value and name it - NoTrayItemsDisplay exactly.

4) Double click it and set a value its value as 1 (Setting the value to 0 will display the icons)




5) Exit registry and reboot.
