peter e Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 MonkeyIf you mean the icons in the notification area of the taskbar, you can right click in an empty area of the taskbar and select properties from the pop up menu. This will bring up the dialogue box - select the taskbar tab and then you can put a tick in the hide inactive icons box. You can also click on customise and choose whether to always hide, always show or hide when inactive. I am assuming you have Win XP.Pete :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I think you can also disable most of them in msconfig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter e Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 MonkeyI don't think it will make any noticeable difference to the speed, you are only hiding the icons. Don't hide the important ones ie anti-virus, dial-up speed etc. You can always restore the defaults at any time.Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince of Calcutta Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 i agree with madboy, for explanations of the items that could appear there and to get an idea about which programs to disable or not have a look hereStart up list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter e Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 You are right Madboy. Closing the progs could have an effect on speed. But I suggested merely hiding the icons which won't affect the speed because the progs are still running. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
