ninjageek Posted April 26, 2007 CID Share Posted April 26, 2007 I am looking for software (free if possible) to hide icons so they dont apear in the taskbar when I boot into xp pro. I still want the software to run, I just dont want the icons in the taskbar next to my clock. I have hunted and searched with no luck. Any ideas?

keetan Posted April 26, 2007 CID Share Posted April 26, 2007 Off the top of my head, you might just consider to autohide the taskbar and popup when you hover the bottom of your screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. But thats not what I want. I dont want a couple of them there. I want them completley hidden. I gotta bet with a buddy of mine I can make xp look and act so much like vista he would never know its xp. So I want the icons hidden. But thank you for the responce.

php Posted April 26, 2007 CID Share Posted April 26, 2007 You can set them to always be hidden... you'll see them if you click the arrow, but otherwise not. Or do you want them even more hidden than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted April 26, 2007 Author CID Share Posted April 26, 2007 Ok im a big dork. The program I wanted to hide has the option not to show the icon. It is just amazing what you can learn when you read the instructions first. Guess its a guy thing. Instructions, I dont need to stinking instructions.
