X-Cannon Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 No I know about that lil trick , I want the icons to be there but now show up beside the clock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 When you boot up or just remove them?Just right click them and hit exit. Then they won't be there, until you reboot.If you want to stop them from loading at boot up, then use something like CodeStuff Starter.B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikex Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 X-CannonI don't know of anyway to do what your askiong. Aside from keeping the apps from auto loading, I think you may be stuck.If you would find a way please post back, I'm sure others would like to know that tip.M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Ok, how about, right click taskbar > properties > taskbar > customize > behaviour > in the drop down box select always hide B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snaxe Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 (edited) If I'm understanding what you're saying, then you want your taskbar, and your system tray to have nothing but the clock. If you're not too opposed to big changes, I know bblean can do what you're asking. If you want to try this and need some help, feel free to IM or email me or something . Here is a picture of my desktop with bblean. Note: the amount of customizability with bblean is astounding. Edited May 2, 2005 by Snaxe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martymas Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 if you open besttechies link the answer is there .delete inactive icons in the registry.i clean mine every so often.it deletes all icons not active .but you want icons that are invisable but are active is that so. if you find an answer post it on the board. marty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nerelda Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Ok, how about, right click taskbar > properties > taskbar > customize > behaviour > in the drop down box select always hide B Doing that, they'll still show when you click the little arrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
