Quick Launch?

[Ron Patterson]

The area on the bottom right of the screen - next to the time display (I
think in Win 98 they called it the System Tray) - is this now called the
Quick Launch Bar?

I have a lot of un-necessary icons there - I tried to remove them from the
Start Up menu via msconfig - but unlike Win 98, it appears XP does NOT like
'Selective Startup' - only 'Normal' startup Other methods I have tries to
edit these icons have not worked after reboots. Suggestions?

Also, could someone tell me what are the 3 or 4 basic items (like Win 98)
that are required by XP for basic startup and the only ones that MUST be in
there?

Hi

You can 'drag and drop' from Windows Explorer on the Quick Launch Bar. =
The icons on the Notification Area can be eradicated either by an option =
in the appropriate program or by unchecking them in msconfig>startup.

I'm not too sure what to say about the startup items - I can boot my PC =
with all of the items disabled without any problems. The ones that I =
normally have in there are my firewall, AV program and Mailwasher.

You might like to have a look at the following link:
