Hi!
I have problem with it.. :(
In WinXP there is menu where I can set which icons I want to hide, which to show..
item 'BOINC application' displayed there or something like that (I have russian MUI, and this menu is localized)
That's why I think settings about hiding does not apply
and every time I start Windows I see BOINC's icon
What do you think about that? :)

Hello,

I think this one would belong to the windows part, but nevertheless:

Right-click in the taskbar (anywhere where there is no icon ;) and chose 'properties' (should be the last one in the menue, nje snaju porussky ;), click on 'hide inactive icons' (or whatever, I've got: 'inaktive Symbole ausblenden' in my german XP) and go to 'customize' (again, german: 'Anpassen'). There you can chose for every program, whether it's supposed to be shown or not (always, never, when idle...).

I hope, it was helpful,
Do svidanja,

I think they checked in a fix for this that should be in CCv4.28 or later. BOINC was resetting this behavior after every reboot.

Just move the BOINC Manager icon from your startup folder. BOINC Manager does not have to be loaded for work to process. (I assume you installed BOINC as a service)

Hi,

This appears to only identify which tray icons appear when the "hide inactive icons" is selected. When that option is chosen a less than sign is displayed. The less than sign only reduces the number of tray icons that are normally displayed. By clicking on the less than sign, all tray icons, including the ones you've said to always hide are displayed.

I've never been able to get the BOINC Hide option to work.

Best regards,

Chuck

As i said (wrote? ;), you have to go one step further. There is a customize button that's greyed out when the 'inactive' checkbox is unchecked. Click it, and more options appear, where you can select for every single programm the behavior.

Of course I do so!
(I wrote about it at one stroke)

I set BOINC manager's icon to be invisible
And it doesn't hiding for a few boots..
And only after that it becomes hided!

But after next use of Manager it's becoming visible again :(

This is a known issue that is supposed to be fixed in the developmental versions.

Any ideas, how to hide BOINC manager icon from tray under win2000?

There is no way to hide the icon from the tray unless you use the 'Service' install of Boinc. Then when you boot the computer you will never see it. Boinc and and your projects run without you even knowing that they are there. After you install just make a shortcut so that you can get to Boinc when you need to check on things.

In the 5.8.* version this problem becomes actual AGAIN :((

Did you install as a service? and deselect run at startup?

BOINC WIKI

Yes, I did as a service.
I have upgrade for minor version, I mean I had 5.4.*. Before that icon hides weel. Now - no :(

Would you check to see that the service was actually installed? I have seen a couple of times where the service was not actually installed even though I selected service install, and typed in the passwords. To do this, open Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Services to see that BOINC is actually there.

BOINC WIKI

Yes, BOINC service is there:
Provides all the infrastructure for BOINC to download workunits and process them without user interaction.
"d:\\Program Files\\BOINC\\boinc.exe" -daemon
so on
version 5.4.11
icon hided
(at home)

at work: version - latest. service installation too. icon is vissible :(

---

When you right click on the icon and exit does boinc/seti stop running?

P.S. Hi John!

No, proccess setiathome_5.15_windows_intelx86.exe still be working
I said that I'm shure that it's a service installation :)

OK, in the startup folder, there is a link to BOINCMgr.exe. This is put there because you did not uncheck the run at startup check box on the last page of the install. You can delete the shortcut to the BOINCMgr.exe from the startup, and the BOINC icon in the task bar should disappear.

---

BOINC WIKI

I mean something else.
Not to disappear at all !! Just to be hidden with XP tray function.
I want to BOINC manager to be lunched at start up, but without it's icon to be shown. (Taskbar's Properties -> Hide unused icons)
This works properly in 5.4.11, in the latest - no.
Please, read my posts before!!

---

And what do you think, how to hide an icon?
Or please add back this function to the Manager
