Re: How to move iconified Zone Alarm freeware from task bar to system tray

In WinXP, how do we move Zone Labs ZoneAlarm freeware to iconify into

After reading this newsgroup, I installed the recommended freeware
Windows XP software firewall from Zone Labs called ZoneAlarm.

ZoneAlarm installed quite nicely and then politely asked me if I
wanted to allow or deny various Internet attempts from within my
computer. I actually enjoyed the installation process and subsequent
setup.

My only issue is that the ZoneAlarm freeware software firewall
iconifies BOTH into the task bar (is that what it's called?) at the
bottom of my standard Windows XP display and it also leaves an icon
at the bottom right in the system tray indicating it's running all
the time (I guess that's what that system tray indicates).

But I don't need BOTH iconified icons.
I just want ZoneAlarm freeware firewall to be in the system tray.
I don't want the Zone Labs icon in the task bar of running programs.
Most (if not all) other programs seem to do this.

Avast antivirus freeware, for example, just iconifies into the system
tray (and even collapses multiple Avast icons in that system tray
into a single icon on demand). Mozilla Firefox just iconifies on the
task bar but not in the system tray (why do some programs go into the
system tray while others go into the task bar?).

I just want Zone Alarm to iconify into the system tray & not the task
bar.

Since the ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm software firewall is always running, I
really don't need to see it in the task bar on the bottom of my
screen (taking space from other iconified programs which do not run
all the time).

Short of killing ZoneAlarm, how do I get rid of the icon in the
bottom of the Windows XP screen (leaving the icon in the system tray)?

You're not "Minimizing" it, are you? Just "Close" the control-panel part
of the application. The resident part of the application will stay in the
SysTray.
