  Hello

  What are the icons in the notification area, you try to delete? Programs in the startup folder starts when you sign in to your profile. Try these icon right click or open the program and see if you can get "don't work don't not at startup" or "start with windows".

  You can also check following sites:

  Click Start-> Start up folder: see if whatever it is this that you do not want to load and connection.

  Click Start-> Run Type & -> MSCONFIG-> ok select Startup and uncheck the programs you don't want to load at startup.

  Icons such as LAN can be disabled from-> click on start-> network-> right-click Connections LAN and uncheck "show notification icon.

  For Volume icon click on start-> Control Panel-> sound and Audio device-> uncheck "icon of volume of space in the taskbar.

  I hope this helps.

• How can I permanently delete an icon from the notification area?

  Whenever I start an icon composed of the white black '9' in a field number appears in the Notification area of my desktop tool bar.

  Whenever I start, I have 'customize' on the toolbar and "hide" icon.  It always comes back.

  Apparently, it has no function.  Make a right click on it, in the hope of finding an option 'discard', produces no response.

  How can I delete the icon?

• BlackBerry Smartphones has weird icon in the notification area.

  Hello friends,

  I own a Blackberry 9300, and recently I had this weird looking icon in my notification area. It looks like a kind of Sundial (the replacement of the clock we used when we had no clocks) with a red star and 1 written before him. Tried all applications, message, etc. etc., but nothing works.

  I would upload the photo (I have chewed the screen using an application), it were not to my knowledge of how to download images on forums.

  If anyone has the idea while on it, please help!

• How to increase the size of the icons in the notification area (lower right corner of the XP taskbar)

  For some reason when I booted up my laptop, the icons were tiny and too small for my eyes. I think it was related to the installation of TestOut LabSim software on the laptop, because I noticed that the problem after doing so.

  I was not yet aware that it was possible to adjut the size fo the icons in the notification area. All the links I found affect the icons in the start menu, or quick launch menu, but not the notification area.
  The notification area is now two-lines, if it used only one, but the size of the taskbar has not changed. My DPI settings are always set to 'large '. The display resolution is unchanged.

  The thing where you right-click the taskbar, choose 'Properties', then click on "Start menu", then customize, then choosing "large icons" is only the start, not the notification area menu. It is also already on large icons.
  In addition, the thing where you right click on the Quick Launch bar and ends by choose "large icons" affects only the Quick Launch bar, not the right notification icons.

  http://www.Flickr.com/photos/10736018@N05/5876069573/sizes/l/in/photostream/

  How do I do the large icons again so I can actually see them? My eyes are not more perfect, and I would rather not be squinting when using my laptop. I think seriously increase the DPI to 150% in its current form.

  Hi bhermance,

  Method 1

  Try the steps mentioned below and see if it helps.

  one) to open display, click Start, click Control Panel, click appearance and themes, and then click display.

  (b) click on the appearance tab, then Advanced.

  (c) now select buttons of legend in the list of items and increase the size.

  (d) click OK and apply

  Check if that helps.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you uninstall TestOut LabSim software of the computer and check if it helps.

• Missing icons in the notification area

  The only icons in the notification area are Microsoft Security Essentials and the clock. How can I get the default icons (especially ' remove hardware safely') to appear?

The problem has been apparently related to start several programs at the same time when the computer is turned on.

• Can no longer see the network icon in the notification area...

  OK, if one day I had an update alert Active on the lower right corner of my screen of my laptop. It was to download the new version of AIM-we said that your update is available, or something like that. I clicked on 'Install now' and went through the process with the GOAL. When I arrived at the end of the process, he said that everything was installed and I'm ready to go. Then when I restarted my computer, nothing has changed in GOAL it was always exactly the same as it was before I tried to install the software and my Internet connection / network connection icon is missing from the notification area next to where the time is displayed.

  I searched and searched through my computer trying to turn it back on right click on the bar tasks then go to the menu to set the network connection icon to 'active' again, but he wasn't there. I have no idea how to do to reactivate it, and I need in my notification area because I would like to know when and what network I'm connected to. I need help! Any help is greatly appreciated.
