How can I permanently hide icons in the notification area?

Is there any free way to permanently hide system icons (such as the wireless icon) in the notification area? Supposedly this can be done with Customize Notifications, but it doesn't stick on my machine.

The problem is that certain apps don't provide a title for the system tray icons. Windows doesn't have a way of recognizing them if they don't have a title, so it doesn't remember the option to always hide. That's why certain icons just can't remember to stay hidden.
