How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup?
How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?
Hello
The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.
The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.
Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.
Here's how:
1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".
2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".
3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»
If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.

How to transfer programs from c to d?
Hello
Have you tried to clean the junk files that are normally found on your c: drive? To clear the temporary files click Start-> run, type & -> % temp %-> click ok. Delete all files in the temp folder.
Also to recover space on the partrition, you need to run Disk Cleanup and compress old files. See also http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956324.
To start disk cleanup, open my computer-> click drive c :->, right click Properties-> you get a tab for disk cleanup.
If you do not plan to uninstall the service pack you can try to remove the $NtUninstall in the windows folder.
Note that the folder is marked as hidden, so to see it, you must have configured Explorer to show hidden files/folders.
You can also (for the record of $ $NtServicePackUninstall): If you want to keep these files to uninstall later goal you can make a backup of the folder to a CD for example and replace when uninstalling.
You can also try disabling the system restore and disable hibernation (Hibernate mode writes an image of what you are currently working on a special folder on your hard disk and then shuts down your computer almost completely). To turn off Hibernation: click Start-> Control Panel-> Performance and Maintenance->, click Power Options.
If you want to move the files to program from C to D, the best way is to uninstall and custom install applications on the D drive.
I hope this helps.

How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista
How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista
Hi Harry,.
Oddly enough, you can actually do it in msconfig except if it is already there and simply not checked as opposed to not being do not at all (although you would think that they would understand this option).
The easiest way is to add the program (or a shortcut to the program) in the folder all Menu Programs Startup. Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_5098465_add-startup-programs.html. Remember, to do this, you must either a shortcut existing (perhaps on the desktop or elsewhere in the menu all programs) or you need to find the source file (probably somewhere in C:\Program Files depending on what you want to add) and either copy it and add it to the startup folder or right-click on it and create a shortcut to copy into the startup folder. Once you reboot, this program starts during the initial commissioning process and you will now be able to control using msconfig.exe, if you wish.
Another option is to do this by using the registry editor. If you decide to try this, first create a restore AND system restoration point backup of the registry before you begin. Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_7304438_add-program-msconfig-regedit.html. I recommend to use this ONLY if the previous procedure does not work for some reason any as long as that the procedure is simpler and safer.
If you want a simpler way to manage and control startup programs, you can try it free WinPatrol http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html that change monitors for startup programs if you set it to run in real-time so that you know when to try new programs are added to your Start menu and, for the purposes of this question includes an Add button which opens a link to a window of Windows Explorer where you can browse the program you want to add, click open to select and then add it directly to the commissioning. If you prefer it does not work all the time, you can simply uncheck the box which includes this program and it will work only when you choose to run (but at the start, will work as an indication otherwise or configured). It will appear not in the start menu in all programs (Finally, WinPatrol is, but not programs, it adds to the start), but it will appear in WinPatrol (which also lets you manage what you want or not start with checkboxes as in msconfig) and sure in msconfig - but only after a reboot is complete the process of adding.
I hope this helps. Personally, I use WinPatrol myself and let it run in real time. Since I do a lot of installations, it helped me often prevent the addition of a startup item I haven't really need and reduces how many times I actually need to check what is happening out there.
If this answers your question without the need to repost in another forum, please mark it as an answer. If this isn't the case, then of course you must republish as suggested above.
Good luck!

I do not know how to move. I had never done this before.
* original title - I need to move some programs from my c drive to another drive to make more space, I do not know how to do it please help? *
Hello
You cannot move installed programs from one drive to another
you will need to uninstall them and then reinstall the disk you want to install on these
During reinstallion of programs you would have the choice of which drive you want to install them on
_________________________________________________________
but you can move your files and folders to a different drive
http://www.vista4beginners.com/move-user-files-folders-to-another-partition
________________________________________________________
and read this topic to make more free space available on C:
see if this program helps you to determine what is take up space
http://www.Jam-software.com/treesize_personal/
by default system restore will have up to 15% of the capacity of the hard disk
you would like to reduce this amount
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76227-system-restore-disk-space.html
http://www.vista4beginners.com/system-restore-space-used
also use disk cleanup
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup
The other Options tab is available when you choose to clean up the files of all users on the computer. This tab includes two additional ways to free disk space even more:
Programs and features. Open programs and features in Control Panel, where you can uninstall programs you no longer use. The column size in programs and features shows how much disk space each program uses.
System Restore and shadow copies. Guests delete you all but the most recent restore point on the disc.

Hi, Smcc42,
It is not possible to copy and paste any programs installed on another disk - you must reinstall them because their files are located in various locations on the disk and because of the registry entries.
This can make the relocation process a little easier:
