3C90x - Windows 95 - Windows NT 4.0 - How can I remove the 3Com tray icon?

Question:
How can I remove the 3Com tray icon?

Answer:
Edit the registry to change the value data of COMSMDEXE. Make a backup of your registry before the edit.
Please carefully follow this path, as serious damage to your system can occur if the wrong registry
key has been altered.

HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current_Version\Run

Modify " COMSMDEXE -ON " under value data to " comsmd.exe -off"

Restart the machine for the changes to take effect.

If you want to access the 3Com windows diagnostics program after making the above change,
click START>RUN and type 3NICDIAG.EXE.
