Thanks Alan 1: Right click on the Taskbar | Properties | Customize. Find the icons in question and change the behavior. You have a choice of Always Show, Always Hide and Hide When Inactive. If still not satisfied: 2: Start | Run and type in: msconfig Select the Startup tab and uncheck any programs you do not need at startup. (Probably quite a few). -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA |

Taskbar
Right click or double click on the icons or go in the programs that
placed the icon on the Taskbar and see if they have an option the be stopped from starting at boot time. If you can't find any option to stop them you can use the windows built-in Msconfig utility or other utilities like Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx or other third party utilities like this one: http://codestuff.tripod.com/ John Alan H wrote: Hi , how do I stop programs loading into the taskbar on start-up.
