Customize Notification

[gbs567]

I was needing help with icons that show up on the taskbar in the lower right
hand corner. I have several from various programs and would like to delete
them from the taskbar but the only option seems to be "hide them when
inactive" or "always hide". These are programs that I use from time to time,
but I don't want them on my taskbar. I have tried the "kelly" website to
remove past items and it does remove several, but when I reboot all of the
icons are back on there again. Thanks for your help!

Click START> RUN> msconfig (OKAY)
Then STARTUP and uncheck ones you don't want.

With Win 98 this was simple it just did it, but now I have XP it asks me
if I really want to, when I go off it says I have changed the startup and am
I SURE I want to do this...

Any that I've managed to take out this way end up coming back, mainly
Quicktime. Apparently anytime something using it is played it adds it to the
taskbar on the bottom. I finally gave up and just right click and exit or
close when I put the computer on (if I think of it).

Since I hooked my Lexmark printer up again (scanner and fax) along with my
newer Canon printer, the Lexmark "all in one" pages are also in the taskbar.
Even though I can find it in programs if I need it (which I don't often)

The link Mary gave mentioned msconfig, also, but it didn't seem too
clear. I know when I first learned about it, I was scared I'd take out
something wrong, I might need and mess it all up. Actually, at times I still
am (LOL)
