removing Opera icon from system tray ?

Hi,

How can I remove the Opera icon from the system tray (Windows XP SP2,
Opera 9.5). I can't find the setting to change among the preferences.

Thanks!

Opera shows the icon there if you have a mail, newsgroups or chat account
set up. Windows XP can hide such icons, right-click an empty part of the
system tray to start managing it. You can also use a commandline option in
the shortcut you use to start Opera, to make sure Opera doesn't create a
system tray icon:

"C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe" /notrayicon

I'm afraid there is no simpler way to get rid of it.

That's simple enough. Thanks!

Well, tried the change to the shortcut with 9.50 and Vista Home Premium.
The trayicon is still there after a shutdown/restart of Opera. Still shows
in the notification area. Any ideas why it doesn't work here?

Sorry, working now. Must've needed a reboot?

I don't seem to have any mail, newsgroup or a chat accounts.

Selecting Tools->Mail and Chat accounts...
Give a pop-up which says
"You need to create an account before proceeding.
Would you like to create one now?"

As I recall, Opera's newsgroup reader is part of it's mail reader, so this
seems to confirm I have none of the accounts you mention.

So, why do I have an Opera icon in my notification area?

This doesn't help when Opera is started from another program because it's
the default browser.

Unfortunate.

But, in my case, according to your comment above, I shouldn't have it
showing anyway.

What's up?

I don't seem to have any mail, newsgroup or a chat accounts.

Maybe you subscribed to newsfeeds? (RSS) That will also trigger the icon.

Yes, that's what someone else said about a week back.

They further said that RSS wasn't supposed to do that and it would be fixed
in 9.52.

Yes? No?
