My company recently made me install Connected DataProtector on my (well, the company's) laptop. It puts an icon on the system tray. There's a context menu for the icon, from which "Close System Tray Icon" can be selected. True to its name, it closes the icon. So far, so good. But in a few minutes, the icon returns.

How do I keep it from reappearing? Or am I destined to have this icon constantly reappearing, mocking my efforts to close it?

Update: 19 April 06: The "Close System Tray" icon doesn't just remove the system tray icon: it kills the application also. There must be some background process that restarts the application when it goes down, so that makes the system tray icon reappear. Hint to Connected: you might want to change the menu selection to "Exit", because that's what it does.
