Opera shows the icon there if you have a mail, newsgroups or chat account  
set up. Windows XP can hide such icons, right-click an empty part of the  
system tray to start managing it. You can also use a commandline option in  
the shortcut you use to start Opera, to make sure Opera doesn't create a  
system tray icon:

"C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe" /notrayicon

I'm afraid there is no simpler way to get rid of it.
