How do I delete icons from system tray please?

adeliene

Can you help please I need to delete unnecessary icons from system tray, such as the printer icon etc. How do I do this? hope someone can help! Thanks

Mr_Skint_2

you dont delete them you can hide them

Do this right click the taskbar, go to properties, Taskbar, customize,
then hide what you want. And then click OK.

Right click on the task bar, select properties. You have a choice to just hide inactive icons by ticking the box, or go to customise for more options like always hide. I usually leave mine on hide when inactive.

Hope this helps.

What windows do you have - this advice might only apply to XP.

You can usually find me in the Techie forum, If you need advice can you please state what Operating System you are using i.e Windows XP, 98se, 98, 95, 3.11. or Mac.

You ever get people ask you about Windows 3.1 these days? I was so used to that thing I delayed switching for years but eventually changed in '99/2000 (as new programs wouldn't run on it) - and even after that I had Program Manager set up in Win98!! :rolleyes:
