Real Player Tray Icon

Hello!
When ever I reboot my computer .. the realplayer is displayed in tasktray on the right corner of the startup toolbar. I also checked to see whether the Startup has realplayer in it but it doesnot. Is there something which I can do with windows programming or registry, so that I don't see the realplayer in tasktray when ever I reboot. Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sajid Mohammed.

Remove as much garbage under that key as you can get away with. Many apps today are rather rude, and insist on loading a stub on startup. Most needlessly occupy memory in the name of accessibility, but they're mostly cheap advertisement. Most people don't know how to remove them, so the advertisement persists. Usually they can just as easily run from the Start Menu without being parasitic ;)
