unused icons

[haseid]

Does anyone know how to remove icons from my
startup/quicklaunch feature? I think they are slowing
down my computer?

they are just shortcuts to programs or directories.

just hover over one and right click to delete.

If you are referring to the icons in the Startup folder on your All Programs
menu and the icons on your Quick Launch toolbar, you can always delete them
by right-clicking and selecting Delete.

The icons on the Quick Launch toolbar have nothing at all to do with the
speed at which your computer operates.

Before you delete items from the Startup folder, I would suggest that you
learn their purpose.

You can find your Quick Launch icons in "C:\Documents and Settings \
(your account name) \ Application Data \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer
\ Quick Launch".

If they are slowing your pc down, how? Is it taking a long time to load?
(ready to use).
Or is your pc running slower in all aspects?
Here are three things that may help.
1.Add more memory (RAM). It's inexpensive, and not much harder to do
than changing a light bulb. For easy & complete info, including the
price and type of RAM your pc takes, go to http://www.crucial.com
2.Delete your temporary files, they can slow your pc down to a crawl, if
enough accumulates.
3.Defragment your pc. If your files are fragmented (not filed properly)
this too can slow things down.
Whether your pc loads slow or operates slow, adding more memory will
help allot.
