Some programs dont give you the option to hide the tray icon.

 

I dislike having all these tray icons that i dont need to see clutter up my task bar

 

 

 

is there a way to go in and hide selected ones?

That replys sounds like you have no freaking clue what he's even talking about.

 

 

 

Anyway, you should be able to hide most of them by right clicking the task bar and going into properties. Next to the 'Hide inactive icons' button on the taskbar tab, the 'customize' button will let you select what is done with each individual icon. It does a pretty good job but some icons that update their status frequently can cause problems with it hiding them all the time. It should do the job for most stuff though.

that seems to worked good enough, thanks :]

If you'd like,

 

 

 

Start -> run 'msconfig' (without quotes)

 

Startup tab, uncheck the [Caution: Executable File] files for the tray icons (google the names and itll tell you what each one is)

 

 

 

A little more work, but it will save you some system resources :)
