deleting icons
I have tons of icons on my hidden icon panel. This makes my computer start up
very slowly. How do I delete some of them so they will not slow my computer at start up? |

deleting icons
By "hidden icon panel" are you referring to the system notification area, on
the right side of your taskbar, next to the clock? Each one of those icons represents a program that is running on your computer. To remove an icon, stop the program from starting with Windows: 1. Open the program and go through its menus until you come to the setting which starts the program with Windows. Turn that setting off. 2. If the program has no such setting, delete the program's icon from your Startup folder (Start All Programs Startup). 3. If there is no icon in the Startup folder, contact the program's creator for advice on how to prevent the program from starting with Windows. 4. If no advice is available, uninstall the program. -- Ted Zieglar "You can do it if you try." "cbeall" wrote in message ... I have tons of icons on my hidden icon panel.
