As I read it, your 'system' install is the same thing as the 'service' install the other posters have suggested. 'Service' install is the more standard terminology, so it will avoid the slight confusion if we use that from now on.

With a service install, there is no need for any BOINC icon to appear in the system tray, hidden or not. However, if you have previously had a 'user' BOINC installation on the computer, you may find that there is a leftover BOINC Manager shortcut in a startup group somewhere - either your personal one, or in the 'all users' area.

Look for a BOINC entry under 'startup' in Start button-->All Programs, and delete it if present.

That's it! Sorry, "system" should have been "service". My bad. I've tracked down the errant shortcut and upon rebooting have no more icon in my system tray! Thank you all very much for your help!!

Posted 10 Jul 2008 by Karen 		I performed a system install since this computer is often on but not logged in to Windows, so BOINC could run during all that unused time. When I logged in I set the BOINC Manager icon in the notification area by the clock to "always hide" because I don't want to see it there all the time. However, when I log off or reboot the icon reappears in the notification area, and when I check the settings for it, it's back to "hide when inactive".

Is there something about a system install that overrides my settings on the icon in the notification area?
