Hi Everyone,
Someone have tried to hide Host Icon (Not On Viewer Mode ) from the Tray icon in windows PC .
For me, it's very difficult may be i've got some error. Even Though i've already clicked On Interface -> "Hide tray icon menu" but still appear in Tray Icon But something was change when i've clicked it, (Hide tray icon menu), I can not Do "Restart Option" "Stop Option" and Can not goto "Setting Option" From Tray Icon Mode. So i don't know how to do Hide ICON From Tray Icon. If someone have Some Idea Please share to me. :-)

Hello,
Thank you for your message.
You cannot hide the tray icon itself, it's always there. This is because Remote Utilities is legitimate software for remote administration and support and must reveal itself in the system for the remote user. Otherwise, antivirus/security software may erroneously detect and remove it.
You can, however, hide the tray icon menu. That is, right-clicking on the tray icon won't produce a contextual menu. You can enable it back if you run the Host settings using Windows Start button (or just doing the search "Settings for Host").
Hope that helps.
