How can I add or delete an icon on the taskbar?

How can I add or delete an icon on the taskbar?
I wanted to remove the icon for manual screen rotation and I want to add some other stuff.

To remove the rotate screen icon goto the registry,
HKey_Local_Mchine\Services\ScreenRotate
change the ShowIcon Value to 0, reboot and it wont be there.

Thanks carnivor. I tried this suggestion from the WiKi, but this did not work for me:
To hide the screen rotation icon:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION\HideOrientationUI = 1
I'll try your suggestion. How about adding an icon on the taskbar?

cktlcmd: you want to check out PHM Tray Launch to add icons to the tray. There are other commercial solutions as well. And someone else, I forget who, made one called VJTrayLaunch, but it's not very good or recommended over the other offerings.
PHM's website may be down, but I've attached a zip somewhere in a Wizard thread on pop up keyboards. Prize if you can find it.

Thanks Vijay555. I did found PHM Power Toys which included PHM Tray Launch. I just don't know how to install only the PHM tray launch though. I don't want the other clutter. Here is a link: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmpocketpcpowertoys.shtml
Another question please. How do you use PHM Tray launch?

SBSH's iLauncher puts icons in the tray. Definitely the easiest to use (I found the PHM software a bit fiddly and the icons didn't render well) but you do have to pay for it...

Does iLauncher causes any slow downs on the Universal? Can I install it on my SD card or does it have to stay on internal memory?

howsitgoin people

Hi cktlcmd,
To use PHM TrayLaunch
1) Install PowerToys and copy traylnch.exe out.
2) Remove PowerToys if don't require
3) Put back traylnch.exe and run it
One catch. After each soft reset you'll have to re-activate traylaunch. Any attempt to put in StartUp results in icons not displaying its original self ie. 'Notes-like' icons will be displayed instead.

wiki now updated with all three regedits to do remove the taskbar from the today screen. by removing the icons, the bar is gone by default.

ctrl+alt+del for wm5?

with all these programs on my usa tmobile mda i get locked up every now and again. its windows, ya know hahaha. is there a control alt delete function? so i can close just one program to free up the phone.
thanks

you can use the built in task manager. If you´re using something like phm traylaunch just creat a shortcut to it and you can select which program to close or close all.
or you can remap a softkey to do a taskswitch and just switch through your open programms and close the ones you don´t need anymore.
If you use WA2 you can use it´s taskswitch and customize each program if you want it in the taskbar or not..
for your question about ctrl+alt+delet i have no idea if there´s is such a combination to press....but i doubt it.

my fav app for this is inclose. essential software imo.

Add/remove icons from tray

I already know how to remove the standard icons like the comm manager and the batery icon from the system tray on the bottom of the today screen. But now I have AE Button Plus installed and this program comes with a icon in the tray wich I don't know how to remove.
I also want to add some programs to the tray but I don't know how to do this either.
Is there a program or something with wich you can easely manage these icons?
Please help me out!

Must search!
To add icons to tray, use PHM TrayLaunch or I think SPB has some apps to do the same. I have one, VJTrayLaunch, but it's not recommended over the others.

Try i Launcher from sbsh. That will let you add any icons on the system tray you want plus all your battery , memory and program info on your today screen. Also has a handy task manager incorporated into the program too. You will have to pay for it after a trial run but a great utility.
Hope this helps

Looks like this program is an exact copy of spb pocket plus wich i already have. So thanks for the tip, but it's not the kind of software where i was looking for.

Hi V,
PHM TrayLaunch was ok. That's what i was looking for. Thanks!
Now I only still need to figure out how to get rid of the ae button icon in the tray. ..

Hi all,
I tried to install the PHM TrayLaunch on my TyTN, but Activesync doesn't display it as being installed (I downloaded the Activesync .msi installer from the site). Any ideas on this?
Thanks

If it's not absolutely necessary to install that way why not download the cab file move it to sd card via AS explorer and tap on it using TyTn.

Running Programs in Today Screen Tray?

I would like to see the programs that are running down in the system tray on the today screen. You know, the place where you see your battery level and connection manager icons?
Is this possible via a registry hack that anyone knows of?

There are registry tweaks for standard items like battery, clock and so on but AFAIK not ones for all running programmes. There are tons of freeware task manager apps that place running progs in task bar and probably the tray as well. Magic Button for example - but it shows in task bar.

u dont need registry twaeks!!
use some extrernal file explorer.
go to the windows folder and find the power tray file copy paste in the startup folder
soft reset is ready.
now.. about the today screen for the try programs try the "true toolbars" is the best ftask manager!!

Actually this so-called fix does not work. If you put the icon in the startup tray all it does is start the program at start up. So no, it does not put it on the tray.
Try again?

VJTrayLaunch
This is a command line application, and can be used to launch any program or shortcut.

TrayLnch
TrayLnch only 47,9kb
is good for hermes

Can't believe people would pay $13 for this.
I made VJTrayLaunch, which is fine for one or two apps, but I recommend PHM Tray Launch 110%.

T-zone tray icon

Is there any way to remove the t-zones icon from the tray box above the softkeys because i do not use t-zones and i always accidently click it on my wing

from http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172596&page=3&pp=15&highlight=remove+t-zones+icon
*Tray icons
-Edit registry as follows:
[HKLM\init]
Launch92=
(delete TrayAp.exe)
-Or, if you want to keep some but not all of the icons:
[HKLM\Software\HTC\TrayApplet]
There you'll find listings for each icon (the folders are for the WinWap, MyFaves, and CommManager tray icons). Remove the ones you don't want and soft reset. If you remove the music player settings, you will then have to uncheck the plug-in from Today items.

yeah i tried that but still the t-zone icon is still in the tray

Does anyone know of a good *FREE* registry editor for the wing? Thanks in advance.

I use one called mobile registry editor:
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
works great so far on both tmobile MDA and Wing although you'll have to install the microsoft .net framework.

registry edit did not work any suggestions?

Heres what I do
I dont like those little guys there.
it is.
HKLM> Software> HTC> Initial Tray
you can remove any one individually, I just leave on the battery and the device lock,
good free reg edit is PHM regedit
