Hi.

Maybe I missed it but is there a way to hide the resident icon from the system tray?

Thanks

Hello,

Probably you have deactivated the resident TeaTimer?
- Go into Spybot - Mode - Advanced Mode - Tools - Resident.
- Check the following: Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

Best regards

But wouldn't deactivating TeaTimer also stop the resident protection (outside of any web browser at least)?

Ah, you want to just hide the icon, not stop the application?
There's an undocumented trick somewhere on this forum (don't remember it from memory and it's not officially documented since hiding software is kind of what the bad guys like to do too often ;) ).

Update:

Found something for you here:

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd15/index.html

"Added TeaTimer hide icon (disabled) registry value in installer"

Search for this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Safer Networking Limited\SpybotSnD

and change the value from "TeaTimerHide" to "1"

Note: If you don't know how to edit the registry then I would
advise you not to use this option.

Back again. it seems with version 1.5 it ignores the registry setting.
