Our IT team has, very annoyingly, set a group policy to show all the notification icons. Apparently some of our staff couldn’t find the printer icon. I am currently looking at 18 icons.
My question is, preferably using c#, can I force Windows to return the notification area to its usual behaviour?
I’d just email IT dep. asking to be excluded from this particular GPO. No need for coding here.
This link looks like something you can forward to IT dep. for future reference, explaining how to accomplish this particular task.

If you are a local Administrator on your computer, you might also try to follow what’s being suggested in this SuperUser question about overriding a GPO.
