Systray hide function in 2K

[thePh@r@oh]

OK i like the little button you can use to hide the systray in XP i was wondering if there was a way i could do that in 2K i have alot of things running from there on my computer but they are all things i have to run i just dont want it looking all cluttered. can anyone help me out?

Nope, that's an XP-only feature. M$ wants you to fork over $140 in order to get that kind of stuff.

Tray Manager V2.0 (freeware) will do this. You can D/L from:

If we are talking about the same thing, I copies MSCONFIG.EXE from Win98 and It works fine.

Don't mess with anything except start up tho...

Tray manager is more elegant...

well that tray manager is what i want but you have to pay for a pc magazine account which isn't what i had in mind. maybe i can find it elsewhere

Here's a page of free/share ware tray utilities:

If nothing above appeals, try googling using "system tray manager"+"hide" and other similar terms.

Do you speak about WondIcon ?
Take a look in the help file. You right click on the icon of Wondicon and you should have a choice to hide totally.

here is a screenshot where you see the option
