Hide System tray in Windows

You can hide the system tray for fun by simply changing a windows registry value.
This can  be done manually by opening 'C:\Windows\regedit.exe' and changing the appropriate key value.
But to make things fun and easy, you can just paste the following code in to a notepad/wordpad and save it as a ".reg" file in any directory.



Then run this file (right click and choose run as administrator option) and allow to alter the registry. To reverse the effect just open the created ".reg" file by right clicking and choosing edit option and change the last digit to 0. Then save the file in ".reg" format and run it as administrator to restore.
Code is given bellow:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoTrayItemsDisplay"=dword:00000001   //change the last digit to 0 to restore
