Need to remove system tray icon

[arteom]

I need to figure out a way to remove the display link icon in the system tray. Doing this through "notifications area icons" in control panel does not really remove it as it can be viewed by pressing the up arrow on icons you have chosen to "hide". I need to remove it completely, have found no straightforward way of doing this. Removing it from services in msconfig disables the service altogether and the display stops functioning. The reason I am looking to do this is to prevent end users from tampering with set configurations. Is there a registry value I can add or edit to hide/remove the system tray icon completely?

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thank You.
