Anyone know how i can hide taskbar icons in Win 2000?

Thanks

I think that is only in windows xp that has that feature I don't think it can be done in win 2000 sorry.

Do you mean this in xp:?

Yeah thats the one i mean but we're on Win 2000

you can hide all of the icons using HideShow from Dempsey Software but you probally only want to hide some of them i'm guessing?

I think this tool Tray Manager 2.0 will help you do it.

If you would that would be great

As long as it's easy restorable that would be fantastic

Just need it to hide the icon and the message windows

Thanks

well i can easily hide/change the systray icon, but I'm not sure Plus! hides the message windows in the taskbar, I'll have a go

EDIT:  It was easier than I thought, got the convos hidden now

Kinda something like Plus boss protection in its own file that doesn't need MSN installed to work. I'm running it off the 3 required files.


I was looking at your software and you probably know already but you could use your hide and show thingie to hide the running apps and if you can be specific hide msn and use the sys tray tool and make it hide the logo.

I could use this but then it looks suspicious if half of the core components of the taskbar are missing lol

thanks again

Yeah thanks, i will try it tomorrow morning, the logo is fine, however one request : - can it look a little different? because the file name and the screen info kinda gives it away.

Thanks again

Something small and effective I made a simple drawing in Paint which would be good.

The window could be called Novell Manager and a little icon from
like this:


(Cropped of course)

Other than that something small and manageable would be lovely




Thanks!

edit:The show button seems a little dodgy, it sometimes reshows but sometimes doesn't

The actual msn, it just stays a clear icon at the bottom and you have to click it to open (dunno was this intended?)

oh yea ok, I forgot about replacing the icon

has anyone got an icon editor or the novell icon or something? I dont have an icon editor on this PC

One Novell Icon It will do just fine

Here it is, now has the Novell Icon and is called 'Novell Manage'

It should also reset the system try icon back to the MSN icon after showing.

Have fun

Lovely Thanks, I shall enjoy using that

np    I hope you don't get caught using MSN

Nah i won't not if your tool works if i do i shall have to blame you

The teacher spends like 3/4 of the lesson out of the room now adays anyways. Yup your tool seems to work well and the low quality icon is removed when you click the msn one.

thanks

Testing Review

Okay some pointers to add.

1. When a new window open it shows up even though its under hide mode
   
2. It doesn't hide the window toast notifications
   
3. The coversation windows don't always hide
