Watch this video tutorial to see above process in action :





You must be familiar with Windows-XP system tray. At times there are lots of icons in the system tray and make very confusing situations. In this tutorial I am going to show how you can you make Windows XP system tray clutter free. There are many icons in the tray at the bottom right corner of the Windows XP desktop. Some of them may be active and some of them are inactive. So you can customize this to set to hide inactive icons or even you can hide unwanted active icons too. Here is the process to achieve this.

Step 1: Right click on empty area of the taskbar.

Step 2: Choose Properties from the menu.

Step 3: Taskbar and Start Menu Properties windows will be appeared on the screen Select the Hide inactive Icons check box (This setting will display only active icons in the system tray)


Generally Windows XP displays active icons, urgent notification icons in system tray and hides inactive icons you can change this behavior. The default setting for these icons is Hide when inactive you can change this settings to Always hide or Always show.


Step 4: Click Customize button of the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window and then change the behavior of the current items as Hide when inactive, Always hide or Always show.
