Using Windows 8.1 (also probably works in 7 & XP)<br><strong>1. Find spotify icon in the notifications area</strong><br><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2964" src="https://cdn.joejiko.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/windows-notification-area.png" alt="windows-notification-area" width="284" height="30" /><br><strong>2. Right click on the icon in the notifications area.. select option.</strong><br><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2963" src="https://cdn.joejiko.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/hide-spotify-from-taskbar.png" alt="hide-spotify-from-taskbar" width="257" height="237" /><br> <br>Because having spotify show up in the taskbar all the time is so unnecessary and I hate it.<br>In other news.. clicking the close "x" does not close spotify as it should. If you want to actually close spotify, you have to click the "exit" option.
