Disabling TkBellExe

I'd like to get rid of this resource hog, but can't seem to find where I can untick the box that puts it in the taskbar. I have version 6.5.2 and I've read another thread here at computing.net that said to go into "browser plug-in" in the drop-down menu. I don't have a "browser plug-in" choice in my drop-down menu, just: File, Edit, Movie, Favorites, Window, and Help. And none of those drop-downs have anything remotely similar to "browser plug-in". Can anyone tell me how to disable this annoying program?
The only choice given me in "preferences" is speed. Nothing about the taskbar. :(

Is that a plugin for IE, or just something on Windows Taskbar ??

Here is information on it-- http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/TkBellExe/ -------------- Maybe see if it is on the Startup tab in msconfig, so you can uncheck it. Start, Run, then type
msconfig

Go to Realplayer Tools> Option> and uncheck Auto update, than fire up msconfig and uncheck TkBellExe from startup list.
I have ZoneAlarm pro installed on my pc, which takes care of that, by denying Realplayer to start the RealPlayer Update Scheduler.

Glad everything seems to be ok now. And yes it gets started by RealPlayer, realsched.exe
The command line is: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe And the description is: TkBellExe
