I don't even know what to call these, but they are the tiny icons at the bottom right corner of the today screen, battery/comm manager/screen rotation. Why these 3 little icons need to take up an entire line on the today screen is beyond me. I've always hated the way WM5 wastes an entire line for today items that could basically be a 32x32 button, so I am trying to keep my interface as finger friendly as possible, removing clutter to make room for the 3 most important things on my today screen - iLauncher, phoneAlarm and pocketBreeze.

Is it possible to remove this line of icons altogether? It does not appear in the Today settings at all, and I've not seen anything in the registry that would seem to control this.

Thanks

yes there are registry edits that can eliminate those items.

Right, I finally found his thread Didn't know this was called the system tray. Good to know.
