How do you remove icons from systray (hide)
I tried hiding them from properties but it is useless as you can find it again if you click the arrow button.
I want to remove the icon but still have it running in the background.
Please reply.

That will only be possible if the program that is running gives you that as an option.

You haven't said what programs or why you don't want them to show. Did you know that you can stop systray loading during boot. Never tried it though, could cause some stability problems.

That is what hiding the icons is.
They are still there, but behind the arrow button.

also search google for;
set systray icons hidden
with desktop icons you can set the attributes
to hidden, so there should be a reg hack to
hide the systray icons hidden also.
