I always start with an empty flash drive when installing PortableApps. Some (not all) flash drives I use with PortableApps display the PortableApps icon in the task bar next to the normal Windows start button. If I close that icon, the normal PortableApps icon in the system tray also goes away. I don't want the PortableApps icon to show up on the task bar. I only want it to show up in the system tray. Can any of you help me with this.
Thanks,
Don

Open (edit) the \PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\PortableAppsMenu.ini file.
Add the following setting in the [DisplayOptions] section:
Windows7TaskbarIcon=false
I believe this setting only applies on Win7. I believe the taskbar icon is hidden by default on Vista and on XP.
This will hide unless the portable apps window is showing.
Just wanted to say thank you to KevinM, and provide the {official} reference for this, which is here:
