"I have six icons in the bottom right hand corner plus Works that starts up on boot. What is the name of this area?"

it's called the system tray. program name is systray. if i'm hearing your problem right, you can click ctrl+alt+del once and you'll get the close program box. there you may find the icon that is in your system tray that you wish to close. you can then follow directions in the close program box, which include selecting the program and clicking end task. it has been my experience that sometimes you must do this twice (and then yet another box pops up asking if you want to shut the program down). then, if the icon is still there, sometimes all it takes is sweeping your mouse arrow across the icon to make it adios.

i agree with all the folks who are directing you to the start up folder, however you've indicated that these suggestions have not worked for you.

one more suggestion, doug. you might try right-clicking on the icon and selecting close, or disable or whatever the shut-off option is. upon doing this, sometimes you are then given a choice as to whether or not you want the program to start next time windows is started, and you can say no.

i sure hope you get your problem resolved. good luck. and let us know what finally worked. :)
