Hi, I have Vista Inspirat 2 bricopack on WinXp. The icons for "ÜberIcon" and "Y's Shadow" always show in the System Tray/Notification Area of the taskbar (whereas RocketDock and TransBar's don't), but I find this unnecessary and they take valuable space. Is there any way I can stop them showing?

I tried doing "Taskbar>Properties>Hide Inactive Icons>Customise" and setting them to "always hide" but it did not work (which is odd), but I don't like this solution anyway as I like all my other system tray items always showing - I find the auto-icon-hiding behaviour irritating and prefer it switched off. Are there command-line switches I could use?

cheers

Maybe reboot and try again, it should work (it works here, YZ Shadow is hidden)
("Taskbar>Properties>Hide Inactive Icons>Customise" and setting them to "always hide")

Breakfastclub I think alex_D wants his system icons to always show

I doubt there is any way to hide those icons, if there are no options for it in the apps settings.

I recall there is a 'Run command' but don't remember it right now I'll post if I got it first I'm sure there is a registry setting (I've used it to hide the icons before but never used for 'showing' though )

He wants to get rid of the Y'z Shadow/ÜberIcon icons, but he wants to make all his other icons visibile.
He doesn't want to enable auto-hide icons (which doesn't seem to work for him anyway).

There is no option in Y'z Shadow (not sure of ÜberIcon) to disable the tray icon, so what he is asking is impossible.

It is possible , just remove those programs from startup and the problem will not occur next time you start your computer

I set 'Always Hide' option for UberIcon and it works for me not sure about Y'z Shadow

Thanks for your replies so far guys... (I did try re-booting after setting them to "always hide" and it didn't work). I have a dim memory from my Win 98 days (my PC knowledge is a bit rusty! of there being command-line switches &/or (more likely) registry edits which could do this, but I might be wrong (and this might of course be program-dependant)... I might end up uninstalling otherwise as it's bugging me, or I'll end up biting the bullet and setting system tray to "auto-hide", but I hate the behaviour of how that function works ... I'm aware that leaving the icons showing uses up extra memory, but I'd have thought that on a reasonably modern machine with 1 Gig RAM that would make negligible difference (grateful to be corrected if I'm wrong!
