In the registry go under:

HKLM\Software\DisplayLink\PIDS\0100XXXX\Branding (where XXXX is the USB product ID of your device connected)

And change the "UIGroupingName" to an empty string.

Restart the DisplayLink Manager service and the UI should have disappeared for that PID.

Wim,

That is exactly what I was looking for, however am having a bit of trouble implementing the solution you have outlined. I went into device manager to find the PID of my display link device.

Hardware ID - USB\VID_17E9&PID_0335&REV_0120
Device Description - DisplayLink Display Adapter (0335)

Figured my PID to be 335. However in windows registry I could not find an entry in PIDS section for 01000335, closest I found was 01000033, Did delete value data for string value UIGroupData for that PID (01000033), then restarted display link manager service, however the system tray icon came back up.

I did search the registry for 01000335, and found data relating to display link manager in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\SOFTWARE\DISPLAYLINK\FIRMWAREB RANDING\01000335_1071008015\BRANDING

The UIGroupingName string value was present there, I tried to delete data within it, however it was regenerated when I restarted display link manager service, same when I tried to delete it.

Also found data in
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\SOFTWARE\DISPLAYLINK\FIRMWAREBRANDING\01000335_ 1071008015\BRANDING

However had the same results as before when trying to modify UIGroupingName string, it was regenerated after service was restarted.

Again, could not find the PID in the PIDS. Any ideas??
