    Anyway to get rid of annoying nVidia System Tray icon?

    So with the last few nVidia drivers they've added a very annoying System Tray icon that is there when the computer starts. I don't know why, but it bugs the crap out of me.

    Now I can stop the "NVIDIA Display Driver Service" service and the icon goes away. Oddly, I can start the service right back up again and the icon doesn't come back.

    Now for the mean time I just wrote a bat file that runs at startup to restart the service, which gets rid of the icon, but there has to be a better way. Perhaps some option burried somewhere in the nVidia control panel or something.*Bang Head :banghead:

    How about open the icon, find "Desktop" tab, at top left, and uncheck "show notification tray icon"

    Yeah, it is already unchecked, that is why I started the thread. Sorry, meant to mention that in the first post.*Eek! How to get rid of this annoying tray icon? :eek:

    Edit: Just driver sweepered, re-installed drivers, and rebooted. The icon still popped up. I went into the control panel and it was still unchecked despite the icon being there. I check the option, unchecked it and the icon went away. I rebooted and no more icon. Odd, but I'm happy.
