Some programs dont have an icon to just disable them at startup from the tray. I think there was a run command I use to type like configsys or winini to get to a menu where you could check off stuff in the systray to be loaded or not. What is that command for the run line? On another note is there anyway to remove everything from the systray except explorer and systray in one fell swoop rather than ctrl alt deleting everything? Thanks ---

Don’t know what version of Windows you have, but in '98 you click on “Start”, then “Run”, then type in “msconfig”. ---
