I want to disable the icon, completely. First can it be done? Second, How?

I did a search here but didn't find anything.

Thanks for all your help.
 
Outlook 2003? You can't. If you use Windows XP you can hide the icon by
customizing your Notification Area options in your Windows Task Bar
settings.

Why can't you? I don't want to hide it, I never want it to appear in the
first place. There isn't a registry change to disable it, to keep Outlook
from putting it there in the first place?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

Just set it to always hide Outlook doesn't consume more or less memory
because of the icon. The icon itself holds functionality and therefor can't
be disabled

Sounds like you already changed it from "Minimize to Taskbar (std) to System
Tray using a tool like X-Setup and now you want to change it back.

Go here and make the change back and toggle the value 1 or 0.
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0Outlook\Preferences\MinToTray"
 
Dude, what are you smoking? Outlook 2003!! It places an icon in the
system tray on execute, and it sits there, and you can use it to do all sort
of cuddly things. But when I'm closing Outlook, File>Exit, or just the X,
the icon just hangs up down there... I was wondering if the icon tray is a
seperate process than the Main Applicaion, and if so, I want to disable the
cute and fuzzies.... :D Got it? Thanks.... (I don't use X-Setup or any
of that junk. I just edit the registry myself, less hassles that way...)
 
Thank you Roady!!!!!!!!!

When the Outlook icon remains in the Notification Area after you close
Outlook it means something is preventing the outlook.exe process from
shutting down. For troubleshooting tips see;
