hide network icon from systray

[boyoss]

is it possible to hide the network icon from the system by using registery?
i found how to hide all icons (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer) but not only one

thanks

To disable for current user: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\
Or for all user: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\
Create dword entry: HideSCANetwork
Value: 00000001

i wrote this code (using a "writeRegister" function), but i have 3 problems.
1. the key is Not correct, i open it in the registery and its wrong.
2. i have 64 bit windows and it seems it's not the same key but i'm Not sure
3. i don't know how to restart the explorer to apply the change. i wrote this code in batch but i don't know how To do it in purebasic And also i think i need a small delay after the killing

thank you very much

Code: Select all

Procedure.l writeRegister(OpenKey.l, SubKey.s, keyset.s, keyvalue.s)
	Define.l hKey, DataSize, result
	
	hKey = 0
	
	If RegCreateKey_(OpenKey,SubKey,@hKey) = 0
		If RegSetValueEx_(hKey,keyset,0,#REG_SZ,@keyvalue, Len(keyvalue)) = 0
			result = 1
		EndIf 
		RegCloseKey_(hKey)
	EndIf
	
	ProcedureReturn result 
EndProcedure

regTopKey.l = #HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
regKey.s = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer"
a = writeRegister(regTopKey, regKey, "HideSCANetwork", "00000001")
MessageRequester("regedit", "result: " + Str(a))

Code: Select all

taskkill /IM explorer.exe /T /F
explorer.exe

You can use SendMessageTimeout_() with this message: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... 85%29.aspx (not tested)
