Remove Items From System Tray

We all use the System Tray in the Taskbar, but you cant prevent any items from appearing there untill now. So once you apply this Registry hack, the System Tray will be blank except for the time.This more of a prank than a hack as you would not want to retain it this way.

Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows

\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Create a DWORD Value in both locations called NoTrayItemsDisplay. Set it to 1 to make items in the System Tray vanish. This is seriously not recomended but if you want to play prank then it's is awesome



This is for earlier versions and might not work in win xp. You need to restart the computer for the change/effect to take place. Be doubly sure that the path is correct and the key doesn't exist before you think of create it(key that you think doesn?t exist). Back up your registry before you do it(click here)
