Group Policy Management Editor - Logon Scripts In the editor, navigate to User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts > Logon Select your chosen Group Policy Object, right click and select Edit.
The next stage is to add the script into a GPO that runs for the users that you want to apply this setting to. Go over to his site, and copy/paste the script into a new file, and save it as ‘NotifyIcons.ps1’. Luckily for us, Micah Rowland has spent a while reverse engineering this key, and produced a very handy script that easily allows us to force icons to be visible. Windows will by default hide this from your users, and doesn’t provide an easy way to automate or script the visibility of these icons for system administrators, as the registry key that stores this information is a long binary key. For example, you might roll out an instant messaging or business application that you would like to always be visible via the notification area. Most of the time, this management of our notification area is fine, however occasionally it can work against you.
