[OpenAFS-win32-devel] Re: Getting rid of OpenAFS/Win tray icon

[Lukas Haase]

Hi,

Yes I know, both provide different information but they their action
(when clicking) is the same and I do NOT need either of them!
I'd rather have a clean system tray.

So again: The definite answer is: It is not possible to remove them?
(without loosing the functionality that I am asked for credentials in
case they're expired)

Thanks,
Luke
