Hi wlcnyc,

This is in regards to Windows 98:

By unchecking "System Tray" the tray won't appear in the right hand portion of the toolbar that appears on the bottom of the screen. Normally, you want to keep this feature of 98.

Didn't you notice any changes in the toolbar when you unchecked System Tray? Let me know if you didn't see any changes. Also, you might want to check to see if System Tray was check when you restarted windows. There are times when one unchecks a program in order to avoid starting it when the system boots. However, the program may reappear when the computer is shut down and restarted.

System Tray...

The System Trap program is responsible for displaying two icons. One is the yellow speaker icon for adjusting the volume and I can't remember what the other one is for sure, but it could be display properties.

If you aren't using these icons, Systray isn't needed. There is no harm in removing it. Systray provides more than its fair share of computer glitches, and many experience noticable reliability improvements once it's disabled.

I don't run Systray on my system.

Cheers, PW.
