Turn system icons on or off via a script?

Hello

I'm currently building a CC4 network in a school.  The product of CC4 is a front end AD/GP, designed to be used by less experienced network administrators.  I'll save the ad and you link here: http://tinyurl.com/ch75853.

Whatever this is effected in the CC4 console, under the hood is through Group Policy. As you can imagine that the group policies for the workstations are heavily locked down to prevent children from playing with the configuration of PC.  By default, built PCs made by RM software do not show the sound icon and (If portable) power icon in the notification area of the task bar. I looked into having enabled through Group Policy settings and register, but neither seem to show icons if the icons are not enabled in the first place. I went even as far to try to capture a file of the registry/written using the process without result monitor.

So is my question, possible to turn on the sound icons and power using a VB or Powershell script?

Concerning

Paul

Hi Paul,.

The question you posted would be better suited in the Script Forums. I would recommend posting your query in the Forums of Script.

  • Cannot turn system icons on or off, excluding the clock icon.

    Hello

    The title pretty much everything said. I can turn only the clock system power icon. Everything is grayed out. Now, when I go to the task bar, click Customize and access the power, the network, volume, and center of the action, they are all checked to "display the icons and notifications '. However when I navigate to 'enable or disable system icons' they are all grayed out except the clock. Now I use a HP tx2z which has quick launch buttons. From there I can change the power plan, see my network status and change the volume; However, I can't do this on the taskbar.

    All this happened randomly when I logged on and off my laptop. I tried to reboot several times, closing, create a new power plan, cleaning the registry. I tried to open the policy editor of group local and disabling the option 'Remove Battery Meter' as stated in this similar question but there is no option to do so. There is an option for all other icons that appear dimmed.

    The pictures showing the problem can be seen here , here , here and here . Highlight the link to see the description. I didn't install anything.

    Thank you!

    Patrick

    I found the problem. I had a custom theme installed and how I installed it (through the registry by changing the shell at a "Explorer" different but I nominated is something else) disabled icons. This is probably because these icons have been 'search' for the shell named "Explorer" not what I had changed to. Anyone who the problem is resolved and thanks for helping me! -Patrick

  • Power system icon is gray turned off in Windows 8

    I have Windows 8. But the notification of the power icon does not appear in the taskbar. I ' tried to fix it in the notification thus in the system icon portions but I can't because the possibility to activate the icon is grayed out offshore and does not allow me to change it.

    I removed the battery and inserted back but still the same problem persists.

    I found the answer to this in a forum. The solution is the following:

    Go to Device Manager, click on battery uninstall "microsoft compatible ac adapter".

    Take action. Click scan for new hardware.

    It will find the battery and you will not even need to restart :-)

  • Disable the startup of the Volume control in the system icon tray.

    I need to disable volume control start in the system tray so that it does not show users that connect.

  • Windows 7 - network system icon disappears

    I did an upgrade installation on my laptop from Vista business to Windows 7 Professional and everything works fine, except the icon of system network has disappeared.  This is the case, even though I am connected via Ethernet to the Internet without problem and the icon is checked "on" in the dialog system icon.  I also did a repair installation (several times) of Windows 7, which did not solve the problem.  (This was NOT a problem with Vista).

    Hello world

    For some reason, my CC (20141) icon has disappeared off the coast of my office.

    It normally should appear in your Start Menu. You may need to use this uninstaller: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
