Hi All.
Today we'll see some secret settings in Intel AMT software. Well, not so secret: They're all written in the software readme, but hey! Who reads the instructions? :) Also, your equipment manufacturer may have removed the readme file or made it hard to find.
So, following the introduction to the notification icon in Part 2, let's see a bit about how it works and how it can be configured.
The notification icon Intel® AMT System Status shows the Intel AMT state on the system: enabled or disabled.
It's got the Intel logo, a short explanation, and a link to Intel's site. Usually it sits in the C:\Program Files\Intel\AMT\atchk.exe (or sometimes C:\Program Files\Intel\AMT Status\atchk.exe).
See the picture:

Below are some ways in which the icon can be customized to fit your needs and preferences.
Note 1: Your systems may use a different folder for the software, change it accordingly where needed.
Note 2: Some modifications include changing values in the registry. While this should be inoffensive when done on the key/values described below, the registry is a dangerous place to tamper. Do it with care and at your own risk. :)
Note 3: The instructions below pertain to versions of the software up to Intel AMT 3.0. Versions 4.0 and on will be discussed in a different post.
This post is already too long, so I'll post the instructions on how to minimize, hide or disable the icon in the next section.
Should come in a few days :); until then, use the comments below to ask any questions you may have.
See you!

Duofeng, great question! The next post in the series would explain LMS and MEI, and then I planned to deal with the AMT4/5 software. But I can change the order :), sure! The new Pricacy Icon, now named Intel Manageability and Security Status, works a bit different than the Intel AMT 3.0 Status application. I'll try to explain all the configuration options and the troubleshooting tips -- but, do you have a specific question? Please let me know if you have a specific question, I want to make sure I address it in the post. Shmuel |

Shmuel, Thanks for your response. I don't have special questions. I just want to know how to modify the icon and the link in Intel Manageability and Security Status, because one customer is interested in it. thanks - Duofeng |

Thanks for the comment Duofeng. IMSS has these type of configurations too. I'll make sure to add them. |

Shmuel, is there a similar way working with Intel Privacy Icon Client on AMT 4/5 machines?
