Hide Your System Tray in Vista

by Milo on February 16th, 2008

There are days when I don’t want to see the System Tray in Vista especially when a lot of applications have littered on it. You can hide the system tray in the Vista Registry through the following steps:

1. Click on Start Orb
2. Type Regedit.exe on the search box
3. Go to the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
4. Create a new 32-bit DWORD value in the right hand pane with the following values:

Name: NoTrayItemsDisplay
Value: 1
5. Log-off from Windows Vista
6. Log-in again
