Remove WLM from system tray

Is there any way to remove/hide the WLM icon from the system tray (without
closing the application)?

Re: Remove WLM from system tray

Can't you "Always Hide" the icon?

1. Right-click the "Start Button"
2. Select "Properties"
3. Click the "Taskbar" tab
4. Check the "Hide inactive icons" box
5. Click "Customize"
6. Under "Windows Live Mail" change
"Hide when inactive" to "Always hide"
7. OK

Re: Remove WLM from system tray

Nice solution!
I was thinking more along the lines of what's available in
WLM, but you solved it with a Windows setting.
