Start/Run/type MSconfig then click on Ok Go to Startup tab and uncheck the box of lines you recognize as unwanted icons like Real Player or others!
Have a nice day, Gérard from Paris, France

Brian, Frenchie is correct. (He usually IS!)
The offending program often has a setting that can be unchecked to remove the icon also. Some of them just keep reappearing every time that you reboot, unless you disable this feature within the program. Look in the "Options" of the program.

Brian, Sorry about the mix up. It's me, I was in the wrong Forum. I thought you were running Windows XP. Bob
