    I have some unused program in the system tray and would like to "take away" without uninstall the programs. Any clues???

    Hi hellwaker just go to Start then run and type MSCONFIG then click on start up and then untick which programs you do not require then reboot.But please be aware that some programs like real player will find there way back in to the system tray again.Should this happen just download a program like win patrol and this will help you with your start up folder :)
