Registry Edit to Disable Windows Systray battery Icon?

I use the battery icon from a third party program, and it's much better than the Windows one because it shows the capacity percentage with it.
However, I would like to get rid of the default Windows battery icon, as I do not need two.

Just a little nuisace, that's all.

Perhaps someone could just tell me where the icon is located in Windows, and I can delete it outright?

Well, while I appreciate your response, I've already tried the obvious before posing the question.

The icon that it refers to in Power Options is an icon that shows the battery is being charged when the the computer's plugged in.

I want to get RID of the existing Windows Battery icon.

odd... my battery icon doesnt show up.... didnt mean to treat u like an idiot or anything. but simply deleting the icon prolly wouldnt do much except leave a blank area, or an error.

Your battery icon doesn't show up even when you are unplugged?
