SysTray icons

[greeneagle79]

How can I remove icons in systray? I am using winxp pro.

I believe they added msconfig into XP, try typing it into a run prompt. You can also download Startup Control Panel. Whichever method you use the goal is the same. Disable any software you do not need running. Some items can be disabled by using the property pages for that icon, network connections, speaker icon, etc. Most items, however, are placed there by the software they represent and can only be removed by not having that software start automatically.

IIRC start/settings/taskbar customise & choose which icons you want to show & hide!
btw this is with the classic view.

The downside to this is that the software is still running and using memory and in some cases processing cycles.

true but he did ask on how to remove the icons & not how to stop the program loading.
