[aditya]

the system tray icon that perpetually sits there for evey differnt type of
office '03 application that I open is annoying.
how do I get rid of that?

R-click the Start button, Properties, Taskbar, check Autohide.

actually I want the taskbar to be present but want to get rid of just that
icon.

Not without "breaking" the system.

But I guess if it is possible to remove all other icons then in-abilty to
remove this perticular one must be a bug

What are you talking about? First, if you are not talking about the
Taskbar, but the area where the clock is? That is called the
notification area and the only Office icon that will show up there is
the Outlook one. As for the Taskbar, IF you have an application open,
the ICON for it will appear so you can switch to it with the mouse. If
this is NOT what you are talking about, then I have NO idea what you are
asking for, because you have not explained it what you have. An app will
reside in the Taskbar if you start the app, simple as that.

If you are talking about the icon that looks like the Office logo and
sits in the area where the clock is, double-click on it and chek on 'no'
That's the customer satisfaction thing.
