Well... it depends.\nSome programs like Sound cards driver and video drivers have a check in the advanced setup to enable or disable notification icon in taskbar.\n--DANGER--\nFor other programs you should go to the registry in\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Run\nor\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Run\nfind the software that you want to remove and delete the entry.\nDo it at your own risk!!!!!!!\n--DANGER--

buddy go to your "taskbar(it contains "start","quick launch") - the big bar at the bottom". Right click on it and then go to "properties". Select "Start Menu" tab and then click on "customize" button, then click on the "advanced" tab and finally click on "clear list" button. Then click "ok" and then "apply".

Go to Start/Run and enter msconfig. There will be a startup tab that lets you uncheck the stuff you don't want. You can uncheck everything and XP will still run, and go back and recheck things if something stops working right.\nThere's also the Start/All Programs/startup thing you can delete stuff from.

You did not state in which programe you wanted to remove the icons. But in most instances it is a case of going into TOOLS or VIEW (as in Explorer) and click on toolbar and then customise.\nHope this helps

It would help if you could provide additional information, as I'm not really sure as to what you mean by right-clicking in the add/remove programs control panel.  If you have an icon that you want to get rid of it and can't delete it, just select it and press the 'Delete' key.\n\nIf you want to send additional information and receive additional help,  you can e-mail me at kevinarbogast@yahoo.com
