Removing Program Buttons from the taskbar permanantly

[Guest]

My new laptop came loaded with junk software offers that are automatically
put in the notification area of the taskbar on the right hand side. I would
like to know how to remove all of this stuff that I do not want loading in
that area when I boot up the machine. I don't want to just hide or exit them
each time that I turn on the computer ... I want to get rid of them.

Anyone know how?

Thanks,
Diane

Look in the options or preferences for each program for a load on startup
selection.

1. Open Control Panel
2. Click Add/Remove programs
3. Remove the programs.

Uninstall them. Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.

Download and run the standalone version of this program.

Here's a good reference source if you come across any entries
you're not familiar with.

This was very helpful. I used both links and cleaned up the notification
area mess. Thank you Nepatsfan.
