How do I shut the programs off that are in the taskbar. I've tried the start startup folder and there are no programs in it.

I would suggest getting a tool like tweakui for xsetup to edit the run and run services.

Good luck to you

I'll take it you mean "in the System Tray", which is the little area beside where your Windoze system displays the time.

You can open each of those by either right-click, and choose something like "Properties", or double-click. The details dependon the specific app/service.

Some of these NEED to load for your PC to run properly, but you can often tell your system to not display the icon. Some of these others are extensions to apps you may have loaded yourself. In most cases you can tell this app to "not load at startup". Again, the details are different for each app/service. Just dig around in their respective config dialogues. Look for options like "Properties", "Preferences", etc.
