RE: 5000 System Tray Icons



Hi NoOne,

This is simply something that the developers of the program you are
using forgot to account for. If the tray icon was created by a windows
program (such as the Secuirty Center in Windows XP) then you should be able
to get rid of it by doing what it advises. If it is a third party program,
you can always keep it from starting during boot by opening MSConfig (Start >
Run > Type 'MSCONFIG' and click ok) and going to the Startup tab and
unchecking the program that is causing the tray icon. Then of course the
application will not load automatically.
