anyone know how to disable the live news update icon in the tray by the clock in win98. if I right click on it, it just gives option to exit or update. I click exit and all it does is exit. next time I startup it is there. I can't find it in msconfig - startup or anywhere. I think it is either for real player 7 or something with sblive. I'm not for sure. Anyone know. It looks like a globe.

BW, thanks for letting me know it was for sblive. I like having the laucher at the top of my screen because I play a lot of games and use the different environment settings. I looked in the help file for sblive, and you
just click on live task, then click on the arrow next to the light bulb and uncheck the live news update, and it disables that on the
tray by the clock. You saved me a lot of time
in figuring this out so thanks very much to you! have a good day/night.
