Creative Disc Detector

[SharkB8]

Could someone tell me how to get rid of the Creative Disc Detector icon from showing up in the lower right tray of my XP system! I can't find anywhere in the Creative software to do this. Right clicking the icon and going to Properties doesn't work. D#*n it Creative!!

remove it from startup

That's part of the problem, it's not in the startup folder. I can find no place to uncheck to get rid of it in any of the Creative apps. If anyone knows a registry tweak to get rid of it I am game.

start -> run -> msconfig -> startup
