Hiding Notification Area

The Notification area shows the softwares which are working in background without user interface.
This area shows the notifications from different softwares, used to show the status of that software.
While using Messengers, when we close them, they minimize to the notification area. When the notification area is disabled, we can get back the closed messenger by opening it from the usual location, such as from desktop shortcut, but not from the notification area
