Remove the Network icon from the systray – Windows 2008
Posted on September 10th, 2009
Windows 2008 has some icons that appear in the systray by default. The network icon is an example that appears even in a terminal server or Citrix session, as shown:
It is un-necessary clutter that would be best to remove in the terminal server session. However, there is no Group Policy option to do this in a Windows 2003 domain.
The following registry keys are available and can be used to remove all the systray icons:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\HideSCAVolume
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoAutoTrayNotify
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\HideSCANetwork
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoTrayItemsDisplay
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\HideClock
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\HideSCAPower
These can be added as a REG_DWORD and set to 1 to enable the setting.
They can also be added to the HKCU hive if required.
