hey eagle, one of these downloads should be just what you want... "Story: Fine-Tune Windows With Five Hot System Tray Utilities [Anchordesk, 05-11-98]" zdnet.com as for, "I'll admit that fiddling with the registry scares the hell out of me"... the utility we've discussed here recently, startup manager2.0, makes things very easy. a good 'readme' file, and a simple interface. and if you backup your registry prior to making any changes you've taken giant steps towards minimizing your risk, imo. funny that you should be mentioning icq in regards to your systray. i had no icq icon there, but some portion of the program was in my startup folder, and startup manager showed that to me and made it a breeze to eliminate. plus, i could turn right around and put it back if for some reason i needed/wanted to. to answer your last question, yes, the systemworks tips come from the same place as the win95 and netscape tips. tipworld.com "I swear, I feel like I'm getting dumber as times flies by...hahaha!" <g3> probably not. you're probably becoming increasingly aware of all the stuff you don't know, and it just feels like dumber. it's actually a step along the path to smarter, imo! :) mark

Eagle, I'm not sure if anyone helped you with the ICQ in the system tray..but I have found that if you take it out of your startup, the ICQ icon won't appear in your system tray until you log onto the ICQ server! I'm using IE5, if you go to Start, Settings, Task Bar and Start Menu, you will then have a box titled, Taskbar Properties, click on the tab marked, Start Menus Program, under Customize Start click on Remove and it will give you a list of programs that startup when you start your computer, in the list click on ICQ to remove. This won't remove it from your computer, just from appearing in the system tray every time you turn on your computer, you will still have ICQ in your programs list. Hope this is what you were asking, if you are using another browser, then the procedure may be a little different, but will basically be the same, I would imagine. The same goes for anything you want to add to the startup, just click Add instead of Remove. kanda
