I have an icon that displays on an XPsp3 machine for remote hosting. I want to hide the icon from all users. I know that under a users a account, I can go to the taskbar properties, choose customize, and then "Hide Always" this icon. But, that only affects the one user. Is there a registry setting I can use to hide for all users, or a policy in policy editor? Currently, I have policies set so users cannot change the taskbar properties, but don't know of any other policies? Thanks. >> Stay informed about: Hide icon in taskbar for security purposes
