The notification area at the bottom
right of your screen can become quite cluttered, especially if you have numerous
applications loading at start up. Ok, if the application's icon is not used
regularly and becomes inactive it will actually hide itself. However what can
you do if you don't want a particular icon to be visible in the notification
area. Simple, you hide the icon. Here's how it's done.
1/ Right click on a vacant
area of the Task Bar
2/ From the drop down menu select
Properties
3/ The taskbar and startup
menu properties window will open
4/ On the Task Bar tab click the
Customise button situated at the bottom of the window
5/ The Customise Notification
window opens
6/ From the presented list select the
icon you wish to hide by highlighting it.
7/ Once highlighted a box appears on
the right with the option 'Hide when Inactive'
8/ Click the arrow button on
the right of this option box
9/ From the drop down menu select the
Always Hide option
