Hide system tray icons - Terminal Server 2003

  • 772

We just got a new backup device that installed a client on our Server 2003 Enterprise TS servers. I would like to hide this system tray icon from all users so they don't tinker around with it. The program itself doesn't have a setting to hide the system tray icon.

Is there a way to hide this system tray icon for all users? Is there a group policy or registry setting I can use?

    If the backup client itself runs as a service, you may want to check and see if an extra quick-launch type program is set to run for all users. A couple places to check include:

    • All Users' Start Menu -> Programs -> Startup
    • HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run
