I have these icons in my tray that i really don't want to see anymore. Some of these include notifying me that my printer is off, or that "network bridges are unplugged" or something like that that I don't even understand. How do i fix up my tray to make it look all nice and pretty?
someone told me to go to start>run>msconfig>startup
so i did that
i noticed qttask (some quicktime thing) is listed like 2 or 3 times. It keeps rechecking itself. How do I fix that?
I also noticed that there are 2 items in the list that don't have names, but they are checked. My friend said they are spyware or viruses. Is this true? Ad-aware hasn't found anything and my virus scanner hasn't either.
Can you help me?

screenshot can be a big help.
right-click @ windows taskbar - properties - customize.
Now you can hide/show/inactive.

Give us a screenshot of your taskbar (system tray more importantly).
I currently have 4 things in my system tray: MSN Messenhger, Motherboard monitor, The speaker icon, NOD32.
MSN and MBM I have showing, and click the little arrow you can see teh hidden NOD32 and the speaker icon.
When i have programs open like Azereus or Kazaa Lite they will ahve a non-hidden icon.
I like to have my comp really organized. ;)
3 desktop icons is too many for me. :lol:

I feel the same way as you. I want my tray very organized.
I went in a chose "Hide always" for a few icons, but thats not what i really want. I just want them gone. not hidden, just gone. when i click the arrow to show the hidden icons, I don't want to see them there.
I will make a screenshot when i have time.

I use regcleaner

http://www.worldstart.com/weekly-download/.../regcleaner.exe (http://www.worldstart.com/weekly-download/programs/regcleaner.exe)
and delete items I don't want to be in startup under the startup tab. It's a great program to maintain your registry too.
