Remove Icons From Windows 98 Taskbar

On right-clicking, some of them may have the option to exit. This exit may only be temporary and will reopen on the next bootup, but some may offer the option to turn them off permanently.

Also, you can click Start, Run, and enter "msconfig" andpress OK. Then go to the Startup tab and uncheck anything you don't want to run.

Also, you can run regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\, and look in the Run, RunOnce, and RunOnceEX folders, and delete anything you don't want to run. (Actually, that's just a harder way of doing what msconfig does for you).

Remove the stubpaths from the programs that you don't want to appear. Go to HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\software\microsoft\active setup\installed components\and choose from list.

Download the SysTrayX software program. It works like a charm. Everything you do is easily reversible and you don't have to spend time hacking the registry.

Try this... START.... RUN ... Type in MSCONFIG...Then Enter. Run through the Tabs and you will fing a list of everything that starts up when WIN98 Loads. Uncheck what you dont want to show up.

Answer number 4 is exactly what you want to do.
Note: this only takes a matter of seconds, requires no messing with the registry etc.and if you ever want them to load again at a later date from start up all you need do is type msconfig --select thestartup tab and you can enable them again something all the other answers wdo not cater for

Well there are quite a few answers but you really should ask what programs they are and if the person wants the icons gone or TSR programs uninstalled or what.

in addition to unchecking items in msconfig startup, look at items in C:\windows\start menu\programs\startup. delete any you dont want to start at bootup. the reason I mention this, is because some progs like microsoft office will continur to load (recheck themselves) even if you uncheck in msconfig, if they are still in the file mentioned above.
