Accessing the classic notification area (toolbar) Options in Windows 10 -

In Windows 10, many options of classic control panel have been moved to the application settings. Many readers constantly ask me if it is possible to have the good old toolbar icons (tray) interface standard control panel. By default, Windows 10 lets you use the Settings application to display or hide application icons from the tray or customize the icons of the system. If you are interested in using the conventional options of the tray icon in Windows 10, this is what you can do.

In Windows 10, after you click the Customize button in the Taskbar properties, it opens the Settings application to the appropriate page: Windows 10 customize notification area icons

Windows 10 customize notification tray on the right side, you will find links to customize the icons and select the system icons should be visible in the system tray (notification area).

Windows 10 customize system icons However, if you want to use the old user interface of Windows 8 and Windows 7 for the same purpose, you must do the following.

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box
  2. Type the following command in the Run dialog box:
     shell ::: {05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9} 

    Windows 10 run old notification icons dialog

  3. After you press Enter , the good old classic interface appears: Windows 10 old notification icons dialog

at the time of this writing, this trick works as expected in the latest Windows 10 build 10240. there is no guarantee that it will be available later that Microsoft wants to kill the classic Control panel and replace it entirely with the Settings application.

Tip: For quicker access to the old dialog box, you can create a desktop shortcut and pin it to the Start menu or the taskbar. Right-click on the desktop and select New - Shortcut. Use the following command as a shortcut target:

 explorer.exe shell ::: {05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}

name like "notification Area Icons" icon and choose the approprtiate from the following file:

 C:  Windows  System32  taskbarcpl.dll 

Windows 10 tray icons shortcut naming Windows 10 tray icons shortcut set icon

Finally, right-click the shortcut you created and pin it to the Start menu or the taskbar.
