By default, Radmin 3.0 does not include a "hide icon" option for security reasons. To remove it, use one of these methods: radmin server 3 0 trial stop and tray icon remove new

Mirror Driver Removal: The tray icon is tied to the Radmin mirror driver. You can remove it by running rserver3.exe /intuninstall or by uninstalling the Radmin Mirror Driver V3 from the Windows Device Manager under Display adapters.

Registry Tweak (Large Networks): For advanced deployment, you can use the Radmin MSI Configurator to set the TrayIconMode registry key.

Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Radmin\Temp\Server\Parameters Modify TrayIconMode to 01 00 00 00.

Special Version: Registered users can request a special "No Tray Icon" version of Radmin Server 3.5.2, which includes a "Do not show" toggle in the General Options. 3. Uninstalling Radmin Completely

This guide is written for system administrators, IT support staff, and advanced users dealing with legacy or temporary Remote Administrator (Radmin) deployments.

Part 1: Understanding Radmin Server 3.0 Components

Before modifying your system, you need to understand what you are controlling:

Radmin Server Service (RServer3) – The core Windows service that listens for incoming connections (port 4899 by default). Stopping this kills remote access.
Radmin Tray Icon (radmin_tray.exe or rserver3.exe /tray) – A user-mode process that resides in the notification area (system tray). It shows connection status, license status, and allows local configuration.
Trial Timer – Embedded in the registry and a hidden license file. Once 30 days pass, the server rejects new connections.

If you only want to stop the trial notifications and remove the icon but keep the server inactive or unloaded, follow the steps below. Part 1: Understanding Radmin Server 3

Part 5: Completely Removing Radmin Server 3.0 (If You No Longer Need It)

If you want a clean slate with no leftovers, uninstall thoroughly:

Step 3.3 – Disable the Tray via Service Flag (Advanced)

Radmin 3.0 supports command-line flags. To prevent the tray icon from spawning on next service start:

Open Registry Editor.
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RadminServer3\Parameters
Create or modify a DWORD (32-bit) value named ShowTrayIcon.
Set its value to 0 (zero).
Restart the computer.

This tells the Radmin service not to launch the tray companion.

Method 3: Manual Removal via Startup and Explorer Hooks

Even after stopping the service, the tray icon may reappear because Radmin adds a startup entry.

Open Task Manager → Startup tab.
Disable Radmin Tray or Radmin Server Tray.

Next, delete the tray shortcut from:

%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

and

%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Finally, open regedit and delete:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Radmin_Tray

✅ Result: After a reboot, the Radmin 3.0 tray icon will be gone. The server service remains stopped (or disabled), and no trial reminders will bother you.
