Hi eternal I really like your video in the one part you said about hiding your inactive your icons that you should delete them and you were going to make a video on how to do that I look for it but I couldnt find it can you tell me how to do it?

THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME

If you go to the RUN command, which I showed how to add to the start menu, type in msconfig. Then go to the "Startup" tab. Look for the programs you wish to eliminate and uncheck them on the left. Also don't uncheck anything by the manufacturer "Microsoft Windows" These are needed to run Vista. It will ask you to restart. Afterwards you will not see those icons come up in the taskbar until you open their respective programs.

Thanks for the great question. :) Let me know if that doesn't work.

Hi eternal thanks for getting back to me I know about the start up tab what I cant figure out is why when I uninstall programs they are still in the start up and they are still in the customize notification Icons and I cant delete.I am thinking about installing ccleaner with that you can delete stuff from the start menu, Have you use that program?Like when I download a zip file I open it and then delete the zip file than I find it on my computer again and then it wont let me delete it.

THANKS
