Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the Cisco Network Magic system tray icon. I had to install it on my little sisters laptop to stop her from staying up all night, and if she saw the icon their I’m she would try to close the program or disable it. Maybe not but still I’d rather the Icon dosent show up. If theres no way to really remove this icon is there a way to run the app silently in the background?

I hope to read a reply soon, thanks for your time.

Nice article though less useful, may be helpful in a particular scenario. Anyways i have some related issue. I need to disable or remove a program from System Tray. No double click and right click works on it. So i guess only a work around on the registry would help. Could you please help? Thanks

I can tell you why some people might want to do it. I use a lot of Stardock apps, & like for my systray to be in the Object Dock @ the top of my screen.

Though I would do the above mostly with Vista & its diegadgets I liked getting rid of some items…. but I would proabbly never want
to hide the systray.

Nearly all of them are status indicators of stuff.
Ie; if the network burps (disconnects) I will see it.
If a friend im’s me I will see it there first.

time&daTE i TURNED OFF and am using the gadget (bigger view at 3am).

In my case I have 12 items in systray and there are only 3 that I would hide.

I don’t see why anyone would want to get rid of the system tray!
Any ideas?
