accessing system tray

[g118]

How do I customize which programs launch at start up that
are within my systray?

Thanks

Go to Start>Run type: msconfig Select Startup Tab and uncheck any
programs you Don't want run at Startup.

Hi,

Start/run msconfig, go to the startup tab.

A more complete list and some information on where they are loading from can
be found by running msinfo32.exe, expand the software environment and click
on the startup programs.

On each program you don't want to start automatically, check its
Options to see if it has the choice not to start. Many can easily
and best be stopped that way. If that doesn't work, run MSCONFIG
from the Start | Run line, and on the Startup tab, uncheck the
programs you don't want to start automatically.

Hi,

Check for an option to not having the icon load in the System Tray via the
program(s) in question.

Other options for removal:

Go to Start/Run and type in: msconfig. Go to the Startup Tab and uncheck
accordingly. Then run this script to remove the disabled items from the
registry.

Or...remove the runkeys from here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
