Question: How to show system tray of windows

Start by right-clicking the Taskbar > select Properties > deselect the "Hide inactive icons" in the Notification area section > click "Apply".

For the network connection icon:

Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections > right-click your active connection icon > Properties > select the "Show icon in the notification area when connected" option > click OK.

If I am not mistaken, the Safely disconnect hardware is only displayed when you connect a device.

Messenger services should have an option to always display the icon when running somewhere in the preferences (usually under the Tools or Edit menus).

thank you..
I know that..
that all obviously will shown in windows taskbar..

hm..maybe I clarify my question:
How if I want to show all of them in ObjectDock ????

I want to always hide the windows taskbar which this can be set in ObjectDock configuration. Everytime I want to safely remove hardware, I HAVE TO set "hide the windows taskbar" to UNCHECKED...I would be very nice if ObjectDock show the system tray.

ObjectDock Plus has support for the system tray - ObjectDock free version does not support it.

You can either create a tabbed system tray dock, or use the configuration panel of a normal dock to select "Show system tray icons".

You will need to start Stardock Central > go to Tools\Settings and select "Enable MCP notification area support" > click OK > reboot computer to load all active system tray icons into dock.

If you do not have Stardock Central for some reason, you can run a search for "sdmcp.exe" file > create a shortcut to the file in your Startup folder.

This will allow you to keep the taskbar hidden, and will show the Safely remove hardware icon when a device is connected.

To change the image for a system tray dock icon, Ctrl+click the icon to bring up the image dialog.

I hope this is more in line to what you need.

so sdmcp.exe
WOW ! it works...
and you also give me a hint to change the icon..

thank you so much..

maybe another question, is there any links where I can add new PICTURES for ObjectDocks ICONS ????
Thank you once again, your help very helpful..

For the Dock Icon (also known as Dock Entry in the program), you can assign may standard icon (".ico") file, or any ".png" image file.

If you right-click on a dock icon (entry) and select "Dock Entry Properties", you will see a Change Image button. Clicking this button will open the Change Image dialog, which will allow you to select an image.

Images (in the icon ".ico" format, or the ".png" image format) need to be stored in either the "Images" folder (or a folder you create) inside the "C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock" folder. They will then be displayed in the Change Image dialog referred to above.

I have written a mini tutorial which is designed to teach the basic file structure and proper placement of files for ObjectDock, which you can read here Link

In case you are unfamiliar with the ObjectDock library at WinCustomize, I have included a link to that here Link

If you purchased any of Stardock's software, or have a WinCustomize subscription, you can download a lot of content for the dock.

Note - you are allowed a certain amount (I think it is currently 50 MB) of content download for free.

I hope this helps.

very helpful..
thank you so far..
