Hide Inactive Icons

Why not just go in and set each icon to always hide? That would give you your whole taskbar.
Right-click on the taskbar and I think there's a customize option on that first page. That's how I've got mine set up.
Hope this helps...sorry I don't know the registry setting.

Yeah, I don't wanna do that because when i DO need to fiddle with a program from the Systray, I don't want to have to unhide it by clicking the button time and time again. If when clicked they could stay unhidden for a minute or so, would be the perfect solution for me.
I'm sure I've found the whereabouts of the setting, but am not sure which value to change.............

right click on taskbar properties to the right of hide icons is customize set each icon that you don't want to see to "always hide" they will still be accessable by pressing the left pointing arrow.
hope this helps
