You can disable the system tray icon. All you have to do is the following:

1. Go "Start">"Run" and type in "regedit" then click "OK"
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
3. Create a new DWORD value by right-clicking on an empty space on the right pane. Name it "NoTrayItemsDisplay"(without the quotes).
4. Change its value data to HEX Value of 1.
5. Close regedit and reboot your computer.

If you do not want to go through all the trouble above, just copy the following contents and paste it into notepad.



Then save it as traydisable.reg to your desktop. Double-click on that file and click "Yes" to merge it. Reboot your pc for the changes to take effect.

i followed the steps but nothing happened. so wut can i do?

You mean the system tray is still there after performing the above steps?

yes system tray is still here. and what do you mean system tray disappear? do you mean entire system tray including clock and antivirus program icons will disappear too?

It will only hide the system tray icons. In your case, your anti-virus tray icon will also disappear. However, the time and date will still be displayed. Well, it's kind of weird that the steps i mentioned did not have any effect on your pc's tray icon. I've tried that on my pc and it works well. I wonder if you have perform the mentioned steps correctly .

i ll try again and thx for sharing your knowledge..
