Vista - Notification Icon

I started Windows Live Mail and it put an icon in the Windows Taskbar
Notification Area that says I have new mail. Can I make this icon
disappear?

Adjust your notification settings:
In Vista: Right-click on Start, Properties, Taskbar, Customize.

On Start?? Why would the WLM notification option be in Windows settings?
Shouldn't it be somewhere in WLM settings? Does Windows have a WLM
notification setting or does this affect notification area icons from other
programs?

Trust me. Windows allows you to customize all notification icons
in one place. Windows Live Mail does not have its own setting.

Using Windows Live Mail, no.

Using Windows...yes, the options are Hide, Hide when Inactive, and Show.
If hidden, the primary WLM icon(the one without a message overlay)will also be impacted by the same setting.

I remember that screen now. It does list all programs which should
potentially put an icon there and lets you make selected ones disappear.
I still wonder why there isn't also an option in the mail program itself to
turn that icon off altogether.

I pointed you to that screen, remember?
What difference does it make whether Windows turns it off or
Windows Live Mail turns it off? Obviously the Windows Live Mail
designers felt that there was no need to include that feature in
Windows Live Mail since it was already included in Windows.

It's a lot easier to toggle a bit in existing code than create redundant code.

Disagree with your analysis. It is just another feature, 'the user
should not be provided with any customisation tools, WE KNOW BEST!'
