Removing Program Buttons from the taskbar permanantly

External Since: Dec 02, 2006 Posts: 1

My new laptop came loaded with junk software offers that are automatically
put in the notification area of the taskbar on the right hand side. I would
like to know how to remove all of this stuff that I do not want loading in
that area when I boot up the machine. I don't want to just hide or exit them
each time that I turn on the computer ... I want to get rid of them.

Anyone know how?

Thanks,
Diane

Look in the options or preferences for each program for a load on startup
selection.
