Windows 7: Adjust system tray

You can customize the system tray under Windows 7 and only get the most important messages. We show you how to make settings and create order.

How to bring order to the Win7 system tray

• If you click an icon in the system tray, you can move it left and right. If you pull it up out of the tray, it will automatically be hidden.
• Via "Customize" (click on the arrow symbol on the left) you can make individual settings for the symbols of the taskbar:
• In this way, you can switch symbols and notifications on, hide them or just let yourself be notified, but do not use the icons.
• Here you will also find a restore button to return to the original notification settings.
• The options above largely work analogously under Windows 8 / 8.1 in desktop mode.
