SYS Tray preferences won't stick!

[effdee]

Every time I boot I see items in the SYS Tray I don't want to see, so I
go through the daily routine of telling the system to 'hide' them...

Why won't these preferences stick!
Is there a way to 'make' them stick?

Is there a utility that will force it or something...

If you wait 30 minutes to an hour, do the expected items become hidden?

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the changes from "sticking." These include
anti-spyware applications (e.g., Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, WinPatrol, etc),
anti-virus applications & security suites (Norton, McAfee, ESET/NOD32,
Kaspersky, Trend Micro, etc.), and third-party firewalls (e.g., Zone Alarm,
etc.).

Note that temporarily disabling the application(s) or rebooting into Safe
Mode may not disable the application's system protections.
