How do I take out programs from the taskbar next to the clock????
1) Right-click on the icon of the program you want to
remove (in the SYSTRAY, next to the clock). 2) See if there is an option in one of the menu items to prevent the program from starting automatically. Look around ! If that doesn't work . . . 3) Go to Start, Run, type MSCONFIG and hit OK. 4) Go to the Startup tab and uncheck the item you think is the unwanted program (Warning: Do some research, be sure of what you're doing here ! If you're uncertain hit the CANCEL button) Hit the Apply button, then OK. Windows will prompt you to restart. Do so. If none of this helps, post back. Good Luck ! -----Original Message----- I want to remove programs from the taskbar next to the clock on my computor. How do I do this??? Please explain in easy terms as I am not that computor savvy!!!!! thanx renjen76 . |

: THANK-YOU VERY MUCH THAT WORKED. FINALLY I COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT SOMEONE TELLS ME. THANK-YOU renjen76 Killing the program using msconfig.exe (so it doesn't load) means you don't get the functionality of that program. Some you don't need, like QuickTime's 'qttask' or a program that the developer thought was crucial but you don't. Say you remove the program used to start your anti-virus program just because you don't want its tray icon. That means your anti-virus program won't load, so why did you bother to install it? Check the options within the program that is presenting the tray icon. Often the program itself will have the option to NOT display its tray icon. Under Windows XP, you can also hide tray icons. They are still there but not in your face all the time. You have to click the chevron to expand the tray icon area to see the hidden icons. Right-click on the taskbar and customize to select which you want hidden all the time, which are hidden when inactive, and which are shown all the time. And please stop yelling at us. -- __________________________________________________ __________ *** Post replies to newsgroup.

You use the program options and disable it. But then, the program may not
work the way you would expect it to. -- Regards: Richard Urban aka Crusty (-: Old B@stard :-) "renjen76" wrote in message ...
