How to remove icons from the system tray?

I want to remove icons that programs place in the system tray. What is the registry edit on the Kaiser/Tilt to do this? I am happy to remove the entire system tray...to free up more space on the Today screen.
Any of the registry hacks listed elsewhere don't match the registry of the Kaiser/Tilt.
Thanks.

Need more information
Can you tell us which icons are being shown?
What do you have in \Windows\StartUp?
What Today Screen plugins do you have running?
On my Vario III I have got links to poutlook, btdwake, elatepushservice, sddaemon, Pbar1.5 and Voice Command in \Widows\StartUp and I have no tray icons displayed. For me only TomTom places an icon in the tray and it disappears on exiting TomTom.

I have something very similar, too.
I've looked around and there seems to be no option for us, Kaiser users, to disable the System Tray, just yet. I can foresee it being disable by some genius who can write an app for it though .

Currently, I have in my system tray the Intellisync icon and when it is open, the Pocket Informant icon. I can get rid the the PI icon, but not the Intellisync.
My startup folder has just the usual stuff...nothing that refers to either of these items or to a system tray.
But what I am looking for - as has been found on other threads for other devices - is a registry setting that can be changed/deleted that will REMOVE the system tray altogether. For me, it is a waste of screen real estate.

bump! Anyone able to figure this out? Would be most appreciative.

If I remember correctly, on my Wizard all I had to do was remove the inittray.lnk from \Windows\Start Up\ and the tray wouldn't load. As soon as an app needed the tray though it would appear. I know we dont have this on the Kaiser.
Are there any reg entries under Intellisync that look like they might load the tray? I'm guessing there aren't any options within Intellisync else you would have discovered them by now. Does Intellisync auto load? or can you activate it only when needed?

Does this work? I tried the reg-key mentioned in the thread and that did NOT work didn't try the cab btw, don't really care about the tray

Yup, the cab mentioned in the thread works perfect - it removes the entire system tray

Traydisplayinstall works YAY !!!
The file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=25187&d=1132420396 Traydisplayinstall 196.cab works perfectly in WM6.1 for removal of the nasty intellisync icon in the Tray and any other useless icons displayed there.

No Tools Folder

I don't have a Tools folder on my tilt, i did the bloatware removal trick and think i lost it after that, is there a way to get it back?

If you remember what shortcuts were in this folder then you can simply recreate this folder in \windows\start menu\programs.

thanks, i honestly dont know what shortcuts were in it, i did the bloatware trick right when i took the phone out of the box so unless there were soem factory installed shortcuts, then there wasn't any from me personally.

Missing TOOLS icon

My Tilt is also missing the TOOLS icon now (initially came with it but recently disappeared), the ironic thing is I haven't done any of the tricks and registry tweaks and other fancy maneuvers, but my husband who has tweaked his Tilt still has his TOOLS icon. I have no idea how to get it back, I've been asking people in other forums
Here's the list of stuff that's linked from the TOOLS icon that's listed under Programs:
Proxy Manager
Adobe Reader LE
Bluetooth Explorer
Calculator
Camera
File Explorer
Java
QuickGPS
Search
Sim Manager
Sprite Backup
Voice Speed Dial
Zip
And the icon wasn't just a Shortcut to the "Tools Folder" that's found under File Explorer > My Device > Program Files > Tools folder....
because that "Tools Folder" is empty on both my Tilt & my husband's Tilt, but my Tilt Icon links are missing while he has his still.

How to make changes to HTC homescreen...

Hello!
I would like to make som changes to the preinnstalled homecreen on my HTC s730, but i don't know how. I like it as it is now, but the weather service and the top ten person i would like to cut away. Somebody who know how I can do that? Is it possible to do other changes on it too?

Yeah, theres an XML file in the windows dir I believe of the phone that you can edit and make changes too, I added the most used programs under my calander while I try to find something for that contacts bit I never use.
There was another thread where people were posting pics of what they had done and had more tips, but essentially you just edit that xml. I dont recall the name for sure but it was something like HTChome.xml or something like that, not at home ATM or I would be of more use lol...

the files have the suffix .home.xml

How did you do that? When I try to find the windows folder (via active sync) It won't show up on my pc screen, but when i use the HTC i fid the folder. How come is that? I can find the folder Home, with the preinnstalled windows homescreen bur not the HTC homescreen. It seems like it's not visible(?).

Thanx
Now I've got another problem. Because the weather service and the top ten person is defined in the following file in reg. {B0C8Ac4B-CddC-4010-AAEB-076A2A6EB171}, but this file is just a path to another file HTCHome.dll. My problem here is that I can't find the file HTCHome.dll. I just find a bunch of HTCHome.dll files. All of them has an ending of *.mui. Like HTCHome.dll.0809.mui. and I can't open them eather. Somebody knows what to do?
And thanx for the help from everybody so far

Anybody please? I'm pretty green in this

Where are you seeing those? Are you sure your in the right section of the phones file system for the home screens?
Connect through active sync, then open "My window's based device" then go into application data, then Home and mine are all in there as .xml

I have found the file HTC.home.xls and opend it, inside the xml document I find this line of code:
<plugin clsid="{B0C8AC4B-CDDC-4010-AAEB-076A2A6EB171}" name="HTCHome" height="100" />
I have managed to fint out (at least I think so) that it is this plugin who shows the clock, the weaterservice and the top ten persons. When I found the B0C8AC4B-CDDC-4010-AAEB-076A2A6EB171} in regedit the value of this key is HTCHome.dll. When i search the whole phone for this dll file i can't find the spesific file, just a bunch of "lookalikes" like HTCHome.dll.0809.mui. This file is located in the windows directory with 5 dll files like this one, but with different numbers at the end. (ex. *.dll.041D.mui and so on). Or am I totally wrong here? Maybe it's a easier way to do this? (Make the weater service and top ten in the homescreen disappear).

Good work. Each CLSID is a different plugin. Each value nested within the CLSID is a modifier. If you want, say... the Most Recently Used items on your HTC home screen... take a look at the contents of one of the .home.xml files that has the MRU listed... and copy out the whole portion of the file that contains the information. They're even indented.

Aha, this is really good to know =)
But what to do when I want to remove something in a plug in, is that possible at all? In the plug in i talked about in my last post, there is three functions.
Number one shows the clock and makes it easier to acsess the alarm setting directly (without have to do so via configuration -> clock and alarm),
number two is the HTC Home weather service
and number three is favourite persons.
I wan't to remove the two last functions in this plug in.

It's quite possible that there is no way to only display parts of the plugin... as this function would have to be programmed into the plugin itself.
Take a look at the other plugins... like the one that shows appointments... you will see that there are portions labeled "text" which is the place where the text would be... you could... in essence... remove this part and have it not display text, but the plugin would still be present.
I hate to say it... but without HTC having programmed a solution to handle your request... you're better off using Facade.

Okai, I just have to live with it the hehe.
I have finally found out how to use fascade in i properly way. I actually don't need to use the default fascade homescreen (who by the way is quite terrible), but I can just use the plug ins. Is there by the way any clock plug in (maybe in fascade?) who makes it possible to set the alarm easy without going thru configuration? If there is, I can just remove the whole plug in in HTCHome and replace it with this.

Hi..nice to see some Homescreen-Interested guys here.
First;
The HTC-Live Homescreen-Plugin is limited to his Functions (Time,Weather,Favs) and not customizeable, there maybe a solution to edit some images like Weather-Icons or the Time-Font,thats all...not like his big Brother on HTC Touch(better to configure,two more Functions, MRU and MusicPlugin).
Sorry.
You can add and move any plugin on your Phone by editing the XML, but dont ask me for an HowTo,please...look into the other xxx.home.xml, it is really easy to customize the HomeScreen.
Some Infos:
The Plugin itself is in /Windows/HTCHome.dll, the .mui Files are LanguageFiles, you can modify and rename them to translate the plugin into your own Language, the HH_WEATHER_01-44.png and all the other HH_blabla...png files are the Images for the Clock,WeatherIcons...,
Happy editing...

Me too, I wanted to remove those two services. I took some fiddling with the xml-file and several plugins, but I managed to make something that looks quite like the Htc Home screen but has just the functionality I want.
Big other advantage is that I now suffer a lot less of the famous memory leaks.
See the result below.

Removing YouTube link from Internet TF3D tab

Ok - I admit it - I am indeed seemingly the only person in the world who doesn't regularly view YouTube!
Therefore I'd like to remove it from my Favourites list on the Internet tab of TF3D.. although from what I can see this one is hardcoded (and not an Opera Favourite, indeed this link actually opens up the YouTube client and no Opera).
However.. while on the subject.. has anyone figured out how to control the ordering that these Favourites are displayed on the TF3D tab? From what I can make out, while within Opera they are alphabetic, in TF3D they are listed in the order they were created.
All ideas/suggestions welcomed! Thanks.

youtube...
No, you're not the only person. I don't watch youtube too. I'd like to remove it complete from the device. Any chance?

Well.. I've removed the whole internet tab from TF3D altogether (using TF3D config).
It's nothing but a globe and some links.. which I can also get from the programs tab. Ya might wanna try removing this whole tab and adding the opera link into your programs tab instead

I do not use it 2

I also had a problem with the internet tab. In my case (MDA compact IV) the opera favorites weren't displayed on the tab.
I've been searching the diamond and found some xml files in the following directory:
\Application Data\manila
There are several xml-files, choose the one for your own language-country combination. This file determines the contents of the internet tab.
1) Make a backup of the xml-file
2) Clear the read-only and the system flags of the xml-file.
3) Make the necessary changes.
4) Save and you are ready.
To remove the you-tube link, You'll have to delete the <link .... > entry from the <OperatorLinks> section.
P.S.
While you're there, you can also remove the <banner > field to get rid of the logo, and remove/change/add OperatorLinks ( e.g. the Search link), and detrmine wether you want to display the opera favorites.

By Christ. Removing the internet tab just to get rid of a bookmark is a bit bloody over the top!
Just delete the bookmarks you don't want from opera and they disappear.
How hard do you really need to make it??
Sheesh!!!
I realise that t-mobile and the other networks may have screwed with the touchflo to bugger it up, but if you have an HTC branded one then just edit the opera bookmarks!!

@Mods: perhaps someone could merge all these threads as they are all about the same topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408035
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408641
The solution posted above and in the other threads seems only to work for the MDA compact IV but not for the Diamond. Does anybody know how to change the internet tab on the Diamond?

Many thanks to all - I'd given up hope after my first ask
It's nice to be able to add icons for the operator links (only 62x62 tho')

It's not working here. I removed the also the whole OperatorLinks section and you tube still there. I've tried to remove the read only flag and the system flag of the file. Try to softreset and deactivating touchflo3d before changing the file. Nothing works for me. Also i've searching the whole windows directory for other occurencies of the text 'you tube' and found nothing related. Additionaly I tried to changed the text 'you tube' in the OperatorLinks section, but the text didn't changed in the touchflo3d after restarting.
I'm using 1.93.

I, too, am interest in this! I'm sure there has to be a registry entry to remove it. Oh registry wizards?! Where art thou???

This variant worked on Touch diamond 1.93.
I thought I was the only one that didn't see youtube as the meaning of life and the Internet. It appears that we are at least a handful.
I did something VERY similar to the above and it worked (first shot) on a TD with 1.93.
But since the above didn't work for all, I better describe EXACTLY what I did:
1) By activesync copied the XML-file to PC
2) Removed RO-fileattribute
3) Opened it with notepad
4) Renamed the <Banner to <BBanner
5) Renamed (both halfs) of <OperatorLinks> to <OOperatorLinks>
6) Saved the file
7) Copied it back to another dir on th TD
8) Removed RO on original
9) Used TotalCommander to copy my changed file over the running.
10) Pressed the red reset-button
And look and behold. After boot It worked. The globe also went.
I noticed that the .qtc files mentioned in the .xml doesn't exist at the location given. e.g.
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"​Nor anywhere else?
Actually the whole structure
"\Windows\HTC\​doesn't exist!
Nor is there anywhere a directory or registry entry "InterNetPortal" nor "Assets"!! So this is all very strange...
But the interesting thing is that the widget now only shows my favorites.
Hope it works for others as well.
I must emphasize that I didn't try the original method, so that might also have done the trick.
After change, the file looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>
<IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>
<BBanner
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"
SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner_selected.qtc"
Text="Start webbrowser"
Width="480"
Height="215" />​ <OOperatorLinks>
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc"​ />​ </OOperatorLinks>​</InternetPortal>​
----
After some more testing, I found out that the very odd values for "DefaultImagePath" and "SelectedImagePath" are MAGIC words! They could be replaced with 'any' picture-file. If the path or filename is invalid/nonexistent the picture is omitted. If these two magic values are used the standard globe will be used. The picture is scalable by height/width

Order of Opera favorites on widget, opera6.adr format
The favorites are shown on the widget in the order they appear in opera6.adr.
Opera6.adr is a rather plain text-file. But please note that by default the unix-style <LF>-only is used as line separator.
So if possible avoid editing with windows notepad, or change the <LF>'s
In vista-notepad <LF>'s are treated as zero-width blanks(!!), so it's VERY easy to get confused and mess things up. I wasted a lot of time, thinking it was a proprietary format, before I discovered the <LF>'s...

How did you edit it finally?
Vista WordPad?
EDIT:
I stopped touchflo, removed read only and system checkmarks on the file. Copied it over to the PC. Used Vista wordpad to open it. Edited it and when finished clicked save. Copied the new file over to the phone, replacing the one there. Started up touchflo and it worked!

How'd you manage to add icons for the operator links and are they limited to 62x62 simply due to the available space? Can icons be added for the favorites too?

"thank you for pasting the original xml file" helped me in restoring the default globe and removing telstra wap links especially the bigpond image!

What are these programs doing in startup?

I noticed in all Diamond ROMs there are a few programs which are always loaded at startup, but I doubt if that's necessary.
I mean these:
1. BioTouch.exe. Needed with the Cube but nowadays useless? When I kill this program nothing's wrong (I believe).
2. Opera9.exe and OperaPreL.exe. Why are they loaded? When I want to start Opera I simply hit the Opera link.
3. Sddaemon.exe. This program did something with the sd-card I believe. But we don't have an SD-card anymore.
4. SAPSettings.exe. For other devices to connect/use my Diamond or so? I don't need it...
5. Some other: MediaHubMini.exe, APLauncher.
Anyone can explain why they're there and know how we can get rid of it?
For some programs (BoiTouch.exe and SAPSettings.exe) I use a dummy file of 0 Kb and copy these to my \windows. So these programs don't start.
I just want a clean memory without any unnecessary ****.
EDIT: Seems the BoiTouch.exe is needed to scroll left/right in sms, internet.

at least at this one i can answer. it was discussed in an another post (don't remember witch). after somebody has the guts to test it by stopping it the conclusion was that once stopped you are not going to be able to switch between yr e-mails with the horizontal swipe.

Please keep testing! I killed all these processes once and nothing happend. I guess till we find out the exac explanations it is good idea about dummy files - I will do it.
Any other experience? Please post it!

And how do you stop them? Are they in the Startup folder? Don't have the phone on me (duh) but I don't remember them being there...

some are, some aren't. but as I said: you can replace them in your \windows map with a file of 0 bytes. then they won't be started. when you want to go back to the original just delete it in \windows...

- AutoShortcut
- HTCStartUp
- poutlook

Yes, I have exactly the same entries as well as "Wktask" (I know what this is) and "Services" ...
If I can move the the 3 you mention above, it would be great But I don't want to blow apart my device ("Services" looks serious and "poutlook" looks like mail related which I rely on!)

good ppl! you are playing with fire and the bad, bad hard reset is going to eat you!

i have deleted the files in startup folder
and this regkeys also
HKLM\init
- Launch4: - Launch19: - Launch98: - Launch99: - Launch100: - Launch110:
- Launch120: - Depend100: - Depend110: - Depend120:
you can see in the picture, some tasks are deleted,
and works perfect (with some tweaks), no problems.

``3. Sddaemon.exe. This program did something with the sd-card I believe. But we don't have an SD-card anymore.``
>>this is something about the VoiceDial/VoiceApplication not SD-card<<
take a look @google or search on DEV`s.

how does sddaemon.exe get started? i don't see it listed in startup folder and init registry.
sddemon = Speed Dial Daemon
I guess I should leave it alone.

I don;t do anything with the speeddial, so I'd like to know how to get rid of it

I think sddaemon has nothing to do with speeddial, it is needed for "Voice Dial or Voice Command". So you can safely delete it if you don't use voice command.

some are, some aren't. but as I said: you can replace them in your \windows map with a file of 0 bytes. then they won't be started. when you want to go back to the original just delete it in \windows...
