Win XP - hiding icons in the notification area

[evangelion]

Are you saying you can't use msconfig in XP???

Doesn't work in 2K, not XP. my fault again. I'll just STFU

Your cool. They all start to blend together after awhile.

After all, XP's codename was NT 5.

my icons have a tendency to never hide and it used to frustrate the hell out of me, but now i just live with it.

Did you disable your auto-logon or disable the SSDP and uPNP Services? Disable the services, if that doesn't work disable your auto-logon.

SSDP and uPNP Services would be what exactly?

uPNP = (Un) Plug N Play

[picklemonkey]

SSDP and uPNP Services would be what exactly?

Control panel, Admin Tools, Services.
Right click each service listed below, click Properties, change the Startup Type dropdown to Disabled, click Stop, click Ok.

• SSDP Discovery Service
• Universal Plug & Play

They're both related to plug & play. If you don't want to disable plug & play, then set your account to not automatically log on and see if that helps.
