Windows 7 Notification settings GPO

[austinmurtha]

Currently Group policy blocks the behavior of all notification icons to only show notifications and it is greyed out for users. I am trying to figure out where the policy for this, as I do not see that set in any of the policy's I have created. I am working on these policies with two other people, so it is possible that they set it. I want the users to be able to change this setting so they can hide icons they are not interested in seeing. Oddly enough the system icons can be customized. Thanks in advance for the help!

Do you mean this setting: "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar"? Did you ever find a GPO / Preference / Registry Key to solve this?

We're experiencing the same thing, everything is greyed out and we do'n have any GPO in effect (I think) what causes this.

Those settings should be in User Configuration > Admin Templates > Start Menu and Task bar. Can you post the output from gpresult with all of the Group Policy that is applying to the system?
