How to remove the bluetooth icon in the system tray

[Alex]

I have recently installed a bluetooth software in any
laptop. Was trying to find out how can I remove the
bluetooth icon in the system tray through registry.

Pls advice. Thanks

Try right-clicking on it and see if there is an option to not run at
startup. Else natively you can; Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative
Tools\Computer Management(Local)\System Information\Software
Environment\Startup Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column,
you'll find the path to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup"
directories or from the registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

or copy msconfig from Windows XP to the "windows" directory

You'll need to get in touch with the application developer.
