Office 2013 Upload Center do not display in notification area

Hello,

I am wanting to hide the Upload centre system task tray icon for Office 2013 on all of our pc's in my organisation, I have found many articles on disabling the service from starting, but this is not my intention.

Instead I wish to use either a registry setting (that I'll set in either the OCT or GPP), an option in the 2013 OCT tool or a setting in the Office 2013 group policy templates to just untick the box that says "Display icon in notification area" which will still allow the Upload Center to work and be launched from the start menu but will free up Task Tray real estate.

If anyone knows what registry setting will do this that would be great, ideally a machine based setting so I can include it with the OCT, however if it is a user setting I will use Group Policy Preferences to deploy it.

Hi,

I captured the registry key by ProcessMonitor, you can test if this works for you:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\FileIO

Value:DisableNotificationIcon

If the value is set to 1, the icon is not displayed; if the value is set to 0, the icon is displayed.
