What i really want to do here is make some icons disappear (or block them from appearing at all) while the app will still be running in the background. Some of these include nvidia and optimus icons, as well as dropbox and USB safe remove. These apps work fine without my intervention, therefore their icons are just clutter to me.
To be clear, i already know how to hide icons (but it doesn't feel like icons are gone with this method since they are just a click away) or how to disable all of the system tray at once (using the registry), i was just wondering if i could block completely some of these icons only.
Thanks.
