Greetings --
If you're referring to the icons in the Quick Launch area, simply
right-click on the undesired icon and select "Delete."
If you're referring to icons in the Notification Area, near the
clock, in most cases, with "well-mannered" applications, it's usually
as simple as opening the undesired program and deselecting the option
to "display icon in the system tray" or to "start when Windows
starts."
Additionally, Look in the C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up and C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up folders, and in the
system registry, primarily in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys.
