No asin the norton management icon in the system tray upon boot in windows 7 you could find the "Hide norton management icon" in the start menu but windos 8 uses metro and there is no such option to hide the client with ideas?

Gibby,

 

On my Windows 8 the system tray is only visible when one is on the Desktop which resembles the classic one in Windows 7.

 

At the left of the system tray is an up arrowhead ^ Click on that and you should see Customize. Click on that you will see a table of items one of which should be the one for Norton Management -- change that to what you want in the drop list along side it -- Hid or Show Notifications only which puts it on the System Tray only when it wishes to signal something.

 

See the image below but I don't have Norton Management installed so there is no entry for it. You can see the NIS one at the top.

i already know that im not wanting to hide it in the tray im wanting to remove it from the tray like you can in windows 7 you can search the start menu for the hide management option

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are wanting to do. I'm not in Windows 8 at the moment but I don't remember any difference between 7 & 8 for the System Tray when I am on the desktop and not the Start Screen.

 

Are you saying that you want to hide the whole System Tray?

 

Please explain what it is that is bothering you -- is it the Norton management icon or the System Tray itself and what has it to do with searching?

I know what you are wanting but it does not seem possible. If you open File Manager and go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Norton Management that is where I would expect to find a shortcut, but it looks like there just is not one.

Congrulations .... I certainly don't have a clue what the OP wants to achieve.

 

Good at least someone has a clue on these forums :)

 

Yea it seems they need to update norton management then in that case with an option to remove tray icon in the actual settings

The Norton Management Installer (when ran on Win 8) does not create the “Show or Hide Icon” shortcut.  However you can create it yourself using the following steps…

 

In the Tile (Metro) screen, right-click the Management tile.

 

In the options bar (at the bottom of the screen) left-click “Open file location”.

(This will open the desktop and Windows Explorer and point it at the “Start Menu/Programs/Norton Management” folder).

 

Right-Click and drag the “Norton Management” shortcut icon down a bit until the large version of the icon version appears then out onto the Windows Desktop and release the right mouse button.

 

Select the “Create shortcuts here” option in the popup menu - click continue on the Admin rights popup warning if it appears.

 

Right-click on the newly created “Norton Management” desktop shortcut and select “Rename” in the popup menu.

 

Rename the shortcut to “Show or Hide Icon” – again click continue on the Admin rights popup warning if it appears.

(be sure to leave Windows Explorer open.)

 

Right-click the “Show or Hide Icon” and select “Properties” in the popup menu.

This will open the shortcuts properties dialog with the “Target” entry as the highlighted focus – press the “End” key on your keyboard to move the typing cursor insertion point to the end of the “Target” text string (after the closing double-quote).

 

Type a space, a slash, toggleicon  so the end to the target text line now looks like the following…

  \mastub.exe" /toggleicon

 

Click the OK button on the dialog box and again click continue on the Admin rights popup warning if it appears.

 

Left-click and drag the newly created "Show or Hide Icon" desktop shortcut into the windows explorer windows pane below the current Norton Management shortcut. (this will move it to the folder.

 

Right-click the “Show or Hide Icon” again and select “Pin to Start” in the popup menu.

 

That should do it…

 

Kind Regards,

John

Happy to help out...

 

Please be aware however that if you uninstall/reinstall/upgrade Norton Management with a newer version then you will most likely need to repeat this sequence to recreate the toggle shortcut because the newer Management version will (most likely) be located in a different programs directory and your (user created) shortcut will not be updated to reflect that change by the newer version's installer.  If this happens, just unpin the old (non-working) toggle tile from the start screen and delete its shortcut from the Norton Management (start menu) folder then follow the outline again to recreate it so that it works with the upgraded Norton Management product.

 

Kind Regards,

John
