cleaning up the system tray

[jason]

how can i stop certain programs from loading in the system tray on start up? also can i remove the following from the system tray without any effects? i have too much ---- in it

the EN thing - i know this is something to do with language, but im only gonna be using english on this computer, do i need this? if not how do i get rid of it?

creative SB live! (audioHQ) - do i need this in the sytem tray for it to work?

creative disc dector - do i need this in the tray? or is it just so audio cds will play automatically?

Start>Run

type in "msconfig" and goto the "Startup" tab and uncheck the programs you do not want to run at startup. Then reboot.

thats weird, when i type in msconfig in the run box it says it can't find it (or one of its components) make sure the path and filename is correct and that all required libraries are available. i have windows 2000 pro, does that make a difference? :doh!:

Win2k is teh only version without msconfig.

When I was typing my previous post, a thought went through my head that you *may* have Windows 2000.
