Open up regedit.exe run box, and locate the following key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Now you have to create a new 32-bit DWORD value :

• 32-bit DWORD Name: NoTrayItemsDisplay
• Value: 1

Log off and Login back to see the changes, you won't find the system tray icon anymore.
