A program I use currently shows up in the notification area on the taskbar. I want the program to run, but not to be visible in the notification area in any way.

I know you can hide the area completely but that is not something I want to do. I would like to just hide a single program. Is this possible?

  • Isn't that still called the "tray"? Which program are you talking about, specifically?

It is possible:

Click the arrow, then click customize. Scroll to the program in question (the one you want to hide) click the drop-down menu, and select "Hide icon and notifications"

Welcome to SuperUser

EDIT: Try going through the program's options or preferences. Usually there is something there. What is the name of this program?

EDIT: It should still work. If the icon is on the taskbar or hidden under the arrow, that is still the place to remove them.

  • The question specifically asked for something other than this: "I don't want to move it into the little arrow part but just be gone – not being able to click it or find it there."
