It didn’t save on my system for some reason. Could be the Vista UAC security getting in the way.
I did get it to go away by running the .bat from here:

Update: I wrote that this article may need to be updated (see previous post), but I now discovered that if one runs the Java Control Panel (javacpl.exe) as an administrator and then checks “Place Java icon in system tray”, the change will go into effect.

It seems like this article needs to be updated. As of Java Runtime Environment Version 6.0 Update 14 (and even some updates preceding 14) when one unchecks “Place java icon in system tray”, it does not save the change.

yes, you can remove the processes from the task manager by their PID using java.

use like this

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(”TASKKILL /F /IM notepad.exse”);

The icon is not going away.
The checkbox is de-selected but the icon keeps reapearing whenever firefox is in use!

Mike, I’ve got the same problem, and so far, no solution to it.
We require Java in order to run one application only. After that application is run, there is no way to close Java, i.e. there is no exit or close button anywhere in or on the Java console. It sits there forever afterwards, chewing up resources.
The only way to exit from the Java application is to re-boot the server. Is there any other way to close the damn thing?

If you delete the tray icon, is Java still running? I want to know how to stop it after it opens for a single app.I see no way to make it actually exit, or turn off. It seems to use a lot of resources.

what if that doesn’t work? the setting stays the same, but the icon reappears sporadically.
