Humpty Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Downloaded utorrent and went through the preferences but couldn't seem to hide the tray icon without actually shutting it down. If the tray icon isn't showing it still shows in the takbar as minimized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigMartin Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 See no tray icon for me, strange Pic removed, see below. Edit: Your right Humpty, for me as soon as you minimize it, the tray icon is back. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted May 14, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 14, 2008 What about right clicking the task bar, select properties > customize, and click in the behaviour column for that icon, and select "always hide", and apply. Also check "hide inactive icons". Out of sight, out of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarq57 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 How about just don't let your brother use the computer when you are using it for something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted May 15, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2008 i know that but i dont like that becoz just "show the hidden icons" by brother see my icon I thought you might know that, but as no one mentioned it, I thought I would. If the little guy just won't leave well alone, why not just lock the pc until your stuffs finished. Couple of freeware apps to do this: Matrix Screen Lock: Lock PC: Both simple password activated locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
